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.THE TRIUMPH OF Anthony Minghella's The English Patient (11.45pm Sky Premier) at the Oscars two years ago was a refreshing reminder that there is still a place in Hollywood for thought-provoking films. This version of Michael Ondaatje's novel cuts back and forth between different times in a manner that requires great concentration from the viewer. It also showcases wonderful performances, particularly from Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas as the couple who embark on a doomed affair just before the Second World War, and from Juliette Binoche (right) as the nurse who later tends Fiennes after a horrific air crash.
"A Beast for Heroes", tonight's episode of Warhorse (7pm History Channel) examines the role of the horse in war since ancient Egyptian times.
