Digital: 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.YOU CAN'T go far wrong with a cast of Glenn Close, Pauline Collins, Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Ehle, Julianna Margulies and Elizabeth Spriggs - and director Bruce Beresford doesn't. In Paradise Road (8pm Sky Premier, right), a meticulously made and moving film, showing for the first time on satellite tonight, he captures the sense of camaraderie that builds up between women interned by the Japanese in 1942. To keep up their spirits, they start a choir. This work is far removed from Beresford's Driving Miss Daisy.
Michael Palin has been so wrapped up in finding new ways of circumnavigating the globe that in recent years we have seen too little of him acting. In 1983's The Missionary (10pm FilmFour), he delivers a winning performance as a clergyman ministering to prostitutes in turn-of-the-century London.
