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.WITH FILMS such as Dead Man Walking and Bob Roberts, Tim Robbins has proved himself no mean director. Fortunately, he has kept up his work on the other side of the camera, in the likes of the recent conspiracy thriller, Arlington Road. In Nothing to Lose (9pm Sky Moviemax), a comedy by Steve Oedekerk showing for the first time on satellite, he plays a down-in-the-mouth advertising exec. After a particularly depressing day when he discovers his wife is having an affair with his boss, he decides to turn the tables on a kidnapper (Martin Lawrence, right).
Once the lead singer of post-punk band The Skids, Richard Jobson has reinvented himself as a film journalist. In Joel Schumacher Face to Face (9.30pm Sky Premier), he is in conversation with the director of such stylish work as Flatliners and Batman Forever.
