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.

FILMFOUR'S "ICONS" season tonight turns its attention to father and son, Bruce and Brandon Lee. Brandon (right) stars in The Crow (11pm FilmFour), an eerie horror film from Alex Proyas about a rock star who returns from the dead to take revenge on the gang that killed him. Also starring Ernie Hudson and Michael Wincott, the movie took on a chilling notoriety when Lee died in a tragic accident during its production.

This is followed by The Big Boss (12.45am), which sees Bruce Lee, in his first starring role. In this 1971 martial-arts classic, directed by Lo Wei, he plays a man who starts work in Bangkok ice factory run by local crime boss Han Ying Chieh. However, when several of his family members disappear, Lee must break a family oath never to fight, and takes on all comers with a bit of kung-fu fighting.
