Satellite & 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.NOT ALL AMERICAN actors have distinguished themselves in their attempts at an English accent, but, as she proved in Sliding Doors and Emma (7pm Sky Moviemax), there is no faulting Gwyneth Paltrow (right). While reminding us that we don't have a monopoly on posh women in period frocks, she sparkles in the title role of Douglas McGrath's enjoyable version of the durable romantic comedy by Jane Austen. A host of British actors - led by Jeremy Northam as the dishy Mr Knightly and featuring Alan Cumming, Greta Scacchi, Ewan McGregor, and Juliet Stevenson - lend top-class support.
With her intriguing choice of film roles - from Pulp Fiction to Gattaca - Uma Thurman stands apart from the Hollywood mainstream. She is profiled today in Femmes Fatales (1.30pm Sky Moviemax).
