Digital, Cable and Satellite Television: 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.DANIEL DAY-LEWIS is famous for his research. For The Boxer (8pm Sky Premier, right), he went to great lengths to get into his part as a former IRA member who finds his true love (Emily Watson) married to his best friend when he gets out after 14 years in jail. He goes on to set up a boxing gym for boys from both sides of the religious divide. Day-Lewis spent time training with real boxers to hone his skills. This only enhances the glistening intensity - something of a Day-Lewis speciality - with which he endows the part in Jim Sheridan's gripping drama.
A quadruple bill of Richard Gere films tonight on Sky Cinema runs as follows: Days of Heaven (6pm), Power (8pm), the excellent Internal Affairs (10pm) with Andy Garcia and American Gigolo (11.55pm). Fans might want to take the phone off the hook.
