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.IT MAY have been cheapened by a recent ad campaign, but Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider (10pm FilmFour) remains one of the seminal 1960s counter-culture pictures. In this often stunning-looking film, with a wonderful soundtrack, Hopper and Peter Fonda (right) play a pair of drug-fuelled bikers riding out in search of America. Jack Nicholson plays a boozy lawyer who hitches a lift. Never mind the plot; feel the mindset.
Jean-Claude Van Damme has never been in anything quite so arty. A double-bill of his movies kicks off with the slick and well- mounted Legionnaire (8pm Sky Moviemax), in which "the Muscles from Brussels" returns to Paris from the Foreign Legion to rescue his imperilled love. This is followed by Double Team (10pm Sky Moviemax), an explosive actioner about an anti-terrorist agent (guess who).
