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.

MANY WERE disappointed by the latest offering from Gotham City, Batman and Robin (8pm Sky Premier), which receives its satellite premiere tonight. The Crusader's cape is now worn by ER's George Clooney (right), but for all the criticism the film received, he still manages to encounter an eye-catching array of baddies in the the venomous Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) and chilling Mr Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger).

The candidates for the title of most evil man of the century are many, but Pol Pot must be near the top of the list. Biography (9pm History Channel) tonight profiles the perpetrator of one of the world's most terrible reigns, charts his life from his days as a student radical in Paris to his stint as the ruler of the appallingly ruthless Khmer Rouge government in the Cambodia of the 1970s.
