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.THE HISTORY of rock stars in Hollywood is not littered with success stories - as anyone who has seen David Bowie's weak performance as Pontius Pilate in The Last Temptation of Christ or Bob Dylan mumbling through his role in Hearts of Fire will testify. But Jon Bon Jovi (right) does not disgrace himself in The Leading Man (8.30pm Sky Premier), a romantic drama from John Duigan (Sirens), showing for the first time on satellite tonight. He plays a Don Juan who seduces the wife (Anna Galiena) of a playwright (Lambert Wilson), so the writer can concentrate on his mistress (Thandie Newton).
History on Trial (7pm History Channel) is a series about pivotal cases - such as the battle between Darwinism and Creationism in the so-called "Monkey Trial - that have made legal history. Tonight's contribution focuses on "The Infamous Dreyfus Affair".
