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.FRITZ LANG'S powerful first spoken-word feature, M (12mdn't FilmFour) made in 1931, is based on an actual newspaper report written about the search for a child murderer. Peter Lorre plays the fugitive in this subversive piece of cinema. The striking immediacy of the script springs from the fact that it was written before the murderer was caught.
The most accessible of the Coen brothers films is Raising Arizona (8pm FilmFour). It contains some free-form flights of imagination and is cleverly plotted, while managing to retain an unthreatening, comic-book sensibility. Nicolas Cage (right) plays a genial armed robber who falls in love with prison warder Holly Hunter on one of his many visits to prison. When the couple discover that they can't have children of their own, they decide to steal one.
