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.

TUBE TALES (9pm Sky Premier, right) is an intriguing idea co-ordinated by film critic Richard Jobson - a collection of nine shorts set on the London Underground. Given the number of different directors, inclduing Ewan McGregor (right), Bob Hoskins, Armando Iannucci and Jude Law, the quality is inevitably uneven, but actors such as Ray Winstone, Daniela Nardini, Jason Flemyng, Rachel Weisz and Denise Van Outen all turn in strong performances.

Bill Murray excels at comic bafflement and is well cast in the lead of Jon Amiel's The Man Who Knew Too Little (10pm Sky Moviemax), showing on satellite for the first time tonight. He plays one of life's bumblers who unwittingly finds himself in a full-on spy imbroglio involving a dodgy assassin (Alfred Molina) and a slinky femme fatale (Joanne Whalley).
