Digital, Cable and Satellite Television: Pick of the Day
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NOT FOR the first time this week, FilmFour trumps its more established satellite rivals with the film of the day, This Boy's Life (8pm). Michael Caton-Jones's mainstream adaptation of Tobias Wolff's touching novel features Robert De Niro in the role of Dwight, the abusive step-father from the town of Concrete, Washington, who's hated by the young Toby, played by Leonardo DiCaprio (right).
Meanwhile, The Three Faces of Eve (6pm Sky Cinema) is based on the true-life case history of a woman suffering from schizophrenia. This 1950s Hollywood examination of mental illness won an Oscar for Joanne Woodward, who plays a frumpy housewife, a sultry seductress and an urban sophisticate, giving a virtuoso performance which manages to compensate for Nunnally Johnson's flat direction.
