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.

AS ANYONE who has seen GoodFellas or Casino can testify, Joe Pesci (right) is one of the scariest screen mobsters around. (Remember the chilling scene in GoodFellas when he turns on his pal Ray Liotta for suggesting he is a "funny guy"?). Pesci plays with that image in Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag (9pm Sky Moviemax). Tom Schulman's uneven black comedy, which is receiving its satellite premiere tonight, is showing as part of Sky Moviemax's "Disorganised Crime" season. The film revolves around a bag containing eight severed heads from Mafia hits which gets mixed up with a similar bag belonging to a student.

After the fascinating contest during the first two Tests, there will be added interest in the Third Test, West Indies vs Australia (2pm Sky Sports 3), which starts today in Bridgetown, Barbados.
