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.

AL PACINO has always excelled at portraying villains - think of Michael Corleone in The Godfather cycle, or the title role in Scarface. He gets to play the ultimate baddie in Devil's Advocate (10pm Sky Premier), a dark, good- looking thriller from Taylor Hackford. Keanu Reeves takes the role of the smart young lawyer who finds himself seduced by the charms of his boss, John Milton (Pacino, right), and the big city.

Marilyn Monroe was well-versed in the art of Method acting, but even so she took her commitment to her role in Bus Stop (6pm FilmFour) to extreme lengths. When called upon to slap a cowboy suitor (Don Murray), she hit him so hard he suffered facial cuts. In Joshua Logan's romantic drama Monroe, who plays a bar room singer, turns in one of her most engaging performances.
