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.THE BEAUTY of the Coen brothers' films is that you can't imagine anyone else ever making them. They are genuine originals conjuring up a marvellously enthralling offbeat world in Fargo (10.20pm Sky Premier). Frances McDormand well merited her Best Actress Oscar for her performance as Marje, a heavily pregnant police officer investigating the apparent kidnap of a local car salesman's (William H Macy) wife. In fact, the debt- ridden salesman has hired two dim-witted thugs, Steve Buscemi (right) and Peter Stormare, to abduct his wife, in the hope of keeping the ransom. This is a gloriously idiosyncratic film, full of strange goings-on in rural snow-covered Minnesota.
To celebrate St Patrick's Day, VH-1 is broadcasting a day of Irish music. Look out for Ten of the Best from the Corrs (midday and 8pm).
