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.

Odeon will return Labyrinth to UK cinemas screens in honour of the late David Bowie.

Screening Tuesday 19 January, proceeds raised will be donated by the cinema chain to Cancer Research UK. In a released statement, Odeon commercial director Andy Edge stated; "David Bowie had a glittering career and gave us decades of entertainment. We are honoured to celebrate his work with these special charity screenings. We hope as many guests as possible will join us to enjoy Labyrinth and help raise money for a fantastic cause."

The screenings will take place in Birmingham, Cardiff, Gateshead, Kingston, Liverpool, Manchester, Norwich, and Southampton. Tickets are available to purchase from the chain's website.

Fans pay tribute to David Bowie in Brixton

Directed by Muppets-creator Jim Henson, the 1986 fantasy stars Jennifer Connelly as a young girl tasked with navigating the eponymous labyrinth of the Goblin King Jareth (Bowie), or risk her infant half-brother turning into a goblin after thirteen hours have passed.

With a week having passed since his death, pausing to relive one of the music legend's most iconic and jubilant cinematic roles stands as a touching farewell to a man whose creativity and individuality was truly beloved by the world.
