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.

IT'S AN UNREMITTING day on the History Channel. Biography (1pm) profiles Josef Stalin (right), the man whose ruthless rule of the Soviet empire caused millions to die. Later episodes of Biography document the baleful impact of Adolf Hitler (7pm), the Nazi leader, and of his henchman Adolf Eichmann (9pm), whose leadership of the Jewish department in the Gestapo led to the deportation of millions to the extermination camps. None of the programmes make for comfortable viewing.

The good thing about Woody Allen is that even after so many years as a film-maker, he is not afraid to experiment. Everyone Says I Love You (8pm Sky Premier), a musical romantic comedy, may be only a partial success, but it is worth seeing if only for the sight of actors such as Goldie Hawn and Allen himself crooning.
