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.HOLLYWOOD HAS long been interested in Tibet and the Dalai Lama. Here that fascination takes the form of Kundun (8pm Sky Premier, right), a beautifully realised biopic. In a complete change from his usual beat of violent gangsters, director Martin Scorsese charts the life of the Tibetan spiritual leader from the age of two. It encompasses both the repressive brutality of the Chinese invasion and the Dalai Lama's exile in India. This reverential film, showing for the first time on satellite tonight, is enhanced by the dazzling photography of the Oscar-nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins.
Kids (12.25am FilmFour) caused no end of trouble when it was released in the cinema. Photographer Larry Clark's movie debut is an unblinking examination of teens and their sex lives in New York City.
