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.

AT HER PEAK, the actress Demi Moore was known as "Gimme" Moore. Those demands may have subsided a little as her films in recent times - The Juror, The Scarlet Letter and Striptease - have failed to match the success of her earlier offerings such as Ghost, Disclosure and Indecent Proposal. Can she regain her position as one of the world's most powerful actresses? Find out as she is profiled in today's Femmes Fatales (1pm Sky Premier).

Lee David Zlotoff helms The Spitfire Grill (8.30pm Sky Premier), a superior weepie showing on satellite for the first time tonight. Fresh out of jail, Percy (Alison Elliott) forms a bond with a moody restaurant owner (Ellen Burstyn, right). Without being a masterpiece, this film is a great and positive advertisement for the good old-fashioned virtues of solid writing and acting.
