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.

THE ABSORBING feature dedicated to personal accounts of disability, No Triumph, No Tragedy (9am R4), returns for a second series, with Peter White going Stateside to meet Christopher Reeve (right). The actor who achieved fame as Superman discusses his feelings about the riding accident that left him paralysed from the neck down, and his awe-inspiring comeback, in the recent US TV remake of Rear Window.

In True Colours (8pm R4), the BBC's former South Africa correspondent, Allan Little, assesses how successful the country has been in overcoming the legacy of apartheid. Here he revisits Cape Town to hear what the Rainbow Nation means to its citizens now.
