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.NOT ALL big-screen adaptations of TV series work - as anyone who has seen The Avengers will know. But Mission: Impossible (8pm Sky Premier), a glossy reworking by Brian De Palma of the classic TV series, has more than enough moments to keep viewers attention. Tom Cruise (right), who seems to have spent almost the past decade working on Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, was not content with just starring as agent Ethan Hunt; he also co-produced the picture, which showcases enough hi-tech gadgets to rival James Bond.
Since she first delivered an Oscar-nominated performance in Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple, Whoopi Goldberg has had an up-and-down career, with highs such as Ghost and The Player and lows like Sister Act 2 and Jumpin' Jack Flash. She is profiled in tonight's Femmes Fatales (8pm Sky Moviemax).
