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.

NEWSPAPERS WERE reporting recently that neighbours of John Travolta's were becoming increasingly fed up with the amount of noise generated by his private jet. That shows, in a perverse way, how successful the actor has been since Quentin Tarantino revived his career in Pulp Fiction. Since then, Travolta has made some pretty astute choices of film, including Face/Off (10pm Sky Premier, right). In John Woo's gripping - if far-fetched - thriller, he plays an FBI agent who switches faces with arch-villain Nicolas Cage in order to elicit information from his criminal brother.

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton both deliver bravura performances as the warring, boozy couple in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (11.30pm Sky Cinema), a gripping adaptation of Edward Albee's emotionally harrowing play.
