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.WILLIAM GOLDMAN has written some of Hollywood's finest screenplays - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and All the President's Men spring to mind. He brings a genuine sense of tension to Misery (10pm Sky Cinema), a chilling adaptation of a Stephen King novel directed by Rob Reiner, which has a tangible sense of claustrophobia. James Caan plays a celebrated author who, following a car crash, finds himself recuperating in the snowbound house of his deranged "number one fan" (the Oscar-winning Kathy Bates).
Leon (10.50pm FilmFour) is an intriguing drama about an emotionally isolated hitman (Jean Reno, right) operating in the USA. He finds his hard shell cracking when he takes in and protects a young orphan (Natalie Portman), who is at risk from the corrupt police officers who have murdered her parents.
