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.ON ITS release in 1954, The Wild One (6pm FilmFour) was banned in some areas because the youngsters were not seen to get their comeuppance. This tough drama centres on thuggish bikers led by Marlon Brando (right) laying waste to a small town and clashing with a rival gang under Lee Marvin's control. Now it looks like a timeless slice of teen rebellion, but Laslo Benedek's moody reading of The Cyclists' Raid by Frank Rooney also spawned one of cinema's most famous exchanges. When Brando is asked, "what are you rebelling against?", he memorably replies: "what have you got?"
One of the best performances at the recent Glastonbury festival was by REM. Frontman Michael Stipe delivered a typically magnetic display and you can now remind yourself what all the fuss was about with The Greatest Hits of... REM (6pm VH1).
