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.FOR A while, it seemed as if George Clooney would not be able to make the step up from small-to big-screen star, but he finally confirmed that he could opposite Jennifer Lopez in Out of Sight. In The Peacemaker (9pm Sky Premier, right), an earlier offering from 1997, he was still finding his cinematic feet. In this busy, special-effects-heavy espionage thriller from the Dreamworks studio, he and Nicole Kidman play bickering government agents pursuing terrorists who have acquired nuclear warheads.
Director Lindsay Anderson specialised in polemical state- of-the nation films such as This Sporting Life, If... and Britannia Hospital. In O Lucky Man! (10pm Sky Cinema), a loose contemporary reworking of The Pilgrim's Progress, Malcolm McDowell plays a salesman on an epic personal journey.
