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.JODIE FOSTER IS such a consummate actress that her two Oscars have been won for completely different roles. In The Silence of the Lambs, she plays a fiercely ambitious and intelligent FBI agent, while in The Accused (10.40pm Sky Premier), by Jonathan Kaplan, she plays the polar opposite, a trailer-park girl who brings an action against a gang of men who raped her in a bar. In this contribution to the "Oscar Winners" season, she works well opposite Kelly McGillis (right) who plays the lawyer she initially mistrusts and then increasingly comes to rely on. It is tough watching, but undeniably powerful stuff.
Susan Sarandon finally got the recognition she deserved with her Best Actress Oscar for Dead Man Walking, but she had been turning in good work for years. She is profiled in today's Femmes Fatales (1pm Sky Premier).
