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.It might be the closest you'll ever get to the Oscars, but with your own piece of Hollywood ephemera you can at least create a stir at this year's Halloween party. Film fans should head to Westfield shopping centre in east London, where an auction of movie props on Thursday includes such treasures as a batsuit from the 1989 Batman film. That's predicted to reach £15,000, however; and you can expect to pay around the same price even for milder memorabilia, such as a Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
The Los Angeles-based movie collectibles shop Prop Store, is teaming up with cinema chain Vue for the sale. Tim Richards, chief executive of Vue Entertainment International, said: "It's the first time an auction of this scale has been held in a cinema, so it should make for an entertaining evening."
