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.

IT MAY be episodic, but that's part of the attraction of Easy Rider (12.20am FilmFour, right). Dennis Hopper's directorial debut - the seminal late-1960s sex, drugs and rock'n'roll picture - was merely reflecting the times. Many of the film's scenes of Hopper and Peter Fonda riding across America on big bikes with their hair blowing in the wind have achieved mythic status.

Alternatively, Woody Allen fans will find a recent offering, Deconstructing Harry (12.15am Sky Premier), to keep them company in the early hours. This surreal comic tale stars Allen as writer Harry Block, whose bad-tempered, self-centred ways, and habit of using any and everyone who comes into his life as fodder for his work, drive others to distraction. As well as a manic but funny journey to pick up an award at his alma mater, it also boasts a great cameo from Robin Williams.
