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 PETER GREENAWAY has a rare talent for provoking strong reactions - Ken Russell is among those to have protested about his films. Typically, critics were divided about The Pillow Book (10.05pm FilmFour), an idiosyncratic film which bears out a comment the director once made that: "I'm not a film-maker. I'm a painter in cinema." Proving he does not just go in for big box-office work such as the new Star Wars film, Ewan McGregor stars as a man who becomes embroiled with an alluring bisexual woman (Vivian Wu) who draws books on his body.

Barnsley vs Tottenham (7.30pm Sky Sports 3) is the rescheduled sixth round FA cup tie which was originally called off due to bad weather. Tottenham fans will be hoping that French winger, David Ginola (right), continues his rich vein of form.
