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.SHANE MEADOWS, director of Twenty Four Seven, tonight selects two of his favourite movies. The first is In the Soup (8pm FilmFour), Alexander Rockwell's little-known tale about a failed screenwriter (Steve Buscemi, right) whose fortunes look up when a gangster expresses an interest in producing one of his scripts. This is followed by Trojan Eddie (10pm), Gillies MacKinnon's striking film about a no-hoper (Stephen Rea) working for a crime boss (Richard Harris) in rural Ireland.
Diane Keaton starred in some of the key movies of the 1970s - The Godfather, Manhattan and Annie Hall. Since then she has struggled to recapture that form but has starred in such enjoyable fare as The First Wives Club (7pm Sky Moviemax). Here she joins forces with Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler as they take revenge on their errant ex-husbands.
