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.DIRECTOR SIDNEY LUMET has long been drawn to stories about corruption, as shown by such films as Serpico, Prince of the City and Q&A. He visits familiar territory again in Night Falls on Manhattan (8.30pm Sky Premier), a solid thriller receiving its satellite premiere tonight. The always reliable Andy Garcia (right) stars as a young District Attorney in New York who discovers that corruption in the legal system may reach close to home. Ian Holm adeptly plays his troubled father.
John Wayne is perhaps the archetypal movie-star. The Oscar-winner once explained his own enduring appeal: "I play John Wayne in every picture, regardless of the character, and I've been doing alright, haven't I?" His long and distinguished career is assessed in today's Hollywood Hall of Fame (5.30pm Sky Cinema).
