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.QUITE RIGHTLY acclaimed, The Civil War (10pm History Channel) is a seminal and meticulous documentary. Years in production, it brings in more than 16,000 still photographs, paintings, archival lithographs and newspaper cuttings to tell the story of the epoch-making American Civil War. Narration is shared between Derek Jacobi, Morgan Freeman (right) and Jeremy Irons. Tonight's episode investigates "The Cause".
Since bursting onto the scene in films such as Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy has had his share of failures. The 1997 thriller Metro (10pm Sky Premier), isn't one of them. In this worthy attempt to reinvent himself as an action hero, Murphy plays a hostage negotiator in San Francisco, who, when his friend and fellow police officer is assassinated, sets out to bring the killer in.
