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.ON THE back of films such as There's Something About Mary, Cameron Diaz (right) has become one of the hottest actresses around. Head above Water (8.30pm Sky Premier) dates from a period when she was slightly less fashionable. In this uneven black comedy from Jim Wilson, receiving its satellite premiere tonight, she plays a woman staying on a remote holiday island with her husband (Harvey Keitel). When an old flame (Billy Zane) ends up dead on her bed, a twisty plot unfolds.
The recent ITV screening of Hunting Venus, the film about New Romantic bands, confirmed the rising trendiness of all things Eighties. This is further borne out by the reunion tours of such quintessential 1980s groups as Culture Club and the Human League. You can revel in nostalgia about perhaps the most famous of the lot, Duran Duran, in tonight's Ten of the Best (9pm VH-1).
