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.

The Raoul Walsh crime drama, White Heat (10pm TNT), features Cagney as an unhinged hood with an unhealthy mother fixation. His reign of terror is brought to an end by an FBI agent (Edmond O'Brien) who goes undercover in his gang. In the celebrated ending, referred to in the earlier documentary's title, Cagney's triumphant gangster is enveloped by flames while shouting: "Made it, ma. Top of the world!" Despite weighing almost 60 times more than a human, the Elephant (10pm National Geographic) has long been persecuted by man. Thisdocumentary traces the impact of the ivory trade.
