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.THERE ARE eight premieres in the Kronos Quartet's eclectic programme for the Glaswegian festival Performance on 3 (7.30pm R3): work from Philip Glass and Terry Riley sits alongside new arrangements of Hungarian gypsy music and Argentinian tangos.
It's hard to celebrate 60 years of Batman without endorsing the global industry that the caped crusader has given rise to, but Happy Birthday Batman (9pm R2), presented by Phill Jupitus, gives a good history of this American institution.
There's a welcome lack of grandeur, too, from Kenneth Branagh (right) in The Directors (10pm R2), although the stirring soundtrack contrives to make him sound superhuman.
