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.RHYS IFANS made such an impact as Spike, the slobby flatmate in Notting Hill, that his picture started to be included alongside Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts on the film's posters. He displays the same charisma in Twin Town (10pm FilmFour), a black comedy directed by Kevin Allen. Ifans and Llyr Evans play a pair of drop-out brothers whose existence does not extend much beyond joy-riding and vandalism. They are galvanised into action, however, when they seek revenge on a dodgy builder who refuses to give their father compensation after he has an accident.
Minnie Driver stars in Grosse Pointe Blank (12mdn't Sky Premier) as a woman who meets an old boyfriend (John Cusack, right), at a high-school reunion in George Armitage's black comedy. Matters are complicated by the fact that Cusack is an assassin and her father is his target.
