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.London's infamous Scala cinema is set to re-open its doors. The much-loved art-house fleapit played host to cult movie marathons complete with requisite faded glamour until it was shut down back in 1993 owing to financial problems caused by, among other things, an illicit screening of Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, which the celebrated director had withdrawn from British release. Now, with the director barely cold in his coffin, the cinema plans to show the film again.
Perhaps Stanley will be there in spirit for the grand re-opening under the assured hand of club promoter Sean McLusky, who's spent four years plotting its resurrection. Although original features have been restored, the interior has been transformed by architects FAT to accommodate McLusky's vision of a "continually changing space" inspired by, of all things, an episode of Seventies spy series The New Avengers. In other words it's a warren of extra-curricular action in the shape of bars, cafes, live music, club nights and film festivals - and not before time, too. AM
