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.
Your support makes all the difference.NICOLE KIDMAN (right) caused quite a storm with her recent stage appearances in London and New York in The Blue Room. However, it is as a screen actress that she made her name. In The Portrait of a Lady (11.50pm Sky Premier), Jane Campion's follow-up to The Piano, she is well-cast as Isabel Archer. An independent- minded woman, she is lured into marriage by Gilbert Osmond (John Malkovich at his most insinuating), who then reveals his true, cruel nature. This exquisite adaptation of the novel by Henry James puts a modern, feminist spin on the portrayal of a woman hemmed in by a patriarchal society.
The up-and-down career of Whoopi Goldberg - from the high of Ghost to the low of Jumpin' Jack Flash - is charted in today's Femmes Fatales (1pm Sky Moviemax).
