Satellite and Cable: Pick of the Day
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.

In David Leland's splendidly evocative picture, she is perfectly cast as Lynda, a feisty 16-year-old living in a sleepy seaside town during the 1950s. Missing her dead mother, she seeks attention with some quite outrageous behaviour. This soon spirals into an ill-fated affair with an older man (Tom Bell) who is a sleazy friend of her father's.
Bruce Willis, dressed only in a grubby white vest and a pair of combat-trousers, the character her plays routinely defying absurd odds to triumph over hordes of baddies, is one of the icons of modern cinema. The enduring appeal of the Die Hard star is examined in today's Action Heroes (2.15pm Sky Moviemax).
