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.THE LIFE of Dublin gangster Martin Cahill has fascinated film- makers for a number of years. Ken Stott played the real-life villain who loved to taunt both the police and IRA in the BBC's Vicious Circle, while Brendan Gleeson (right) played the part in John Boorman's gripping film, The General (8pm Sky Premier). The facts of Cahill's life are pure drama. In a 20-year career, Cahill built up a reputation for violence, he stole more than pounds 30m and became Ireland's most wanted man. But at the same time he was charming, lived happily with two sisters and had children by both of them.
A Gregory Peck double bill on Sky Cinema features the classic Alfred Hitchcock thriller about the head of a mental asylum, Spellbound (8pm), and The Gunfighter (10pm), a durable western directed by Henry King.
