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.A LEISURELY six-part series, All Singing, All Dancing, All Night (9pm R2), is presented by Wigan boy Stuart Maconie, who looks back at the Seventies glory days of Northern Soul. Then, every pub and cafe in the North-west echoed to the sound of rare Philly grooves and the Wigan Casino was the most fashionable dance venue on the planet. Meanwhile, Charles Darwin (right) continues to run riot: Evolution after Darwin (9pm R4) examines the current state of evolutionary theory. The first programme, "The Monkey Puzzle", looks at the evidence that we are very closely related to the great apes. More surprisingly, it is starting to look as if our ape cousins once walked upright, too.
