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.AS BRIDGET Jones never ceased to remind to us, Colin Firth (right) is the ultimate heart-throb. He lends his smouldering good looks to the role of the cunning seducer in Valmont (8pm FilmFour). When it was released, it was overshadowed by the Stephen Frears's version of the same story made a year earlier. However, Milos Forman's film still provides a witty insight into the sexual antics of the French aristocracy during the 18th century. Amongst a top-notch cast, Annette Bening and Meg Tilly have particular fun as high- class schemers.
Jude Law has always made intriguing film choices - he has been in movies as varied as The Final Cut and Wilde. He also stars alongside Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman in Gattaca (8pm Sky Premier), an unusual sci-fi offering from Andrew Niccol, set in a future in which society is divided along genetic lines.
