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.

AFTER A COUPLE of years in the doldrums, Julia Roberts (right) stormed back with My Best Friend's Wedding. This just reminded us of her star quality, which is also evident in Sleeping with the Enemy (11.50pm Sky Premier), a tense thriller from Joseph Ruben. She plays the battered wife of Patrick Bergin. To escape him, she fakes her own death and relocates to a small town, but he discovers she is alive and tracks hers down.

James Cameron did not endear himself to many people at last year's Oscars, yet for all that, there is no denying he is a formidable director. What he does best is marshal seemingly unwieldy, big-budget, special effects-laden projects into coherent films. That has been apparent in all his best work from The Terminator to Titanic. He is profiled in The Directors (1.50am Sky Cinema).
