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 Museum of London Docklands is giving away forty pairs of tickets to attend a private, after-hours view of its latest exhibition, Soldiers and Suffragettes: The Photography of Christina Broom, followed by a preview screening of new movie, Suffragette, at the Everyman Canary Wharf on Friday 9 October 2015.
Starting the evening at 6pm at the Museum of London Docklands, winners will enjoy a complementary glass of wine as you mingle with curator Anna Sparham and leading Suffragette expert and film advisor, Beverley Cook. In the exhibition winners will get to view original prints – many never seen before on public display – by Christina Broom, the UK’s first female press photographer, who captured thousands of images of London at the start of the 20th century, including many high-profile Suffragette events.
Winners will then head to the nearby Everyman Canary Wharf for an advance screening at 8.30pm of Suffragette, ahead of its 12 October release date. Starring Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, Brendan Gleeson and Meryl Streep, Suffragette is an intense drama that tracks the story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement as they fought for the right to vote.
Everyman Canary Wharf is situated in the sleek Crossrail Place development, featuring three screens complete with luxurious sofa seating and a stylish statement bar. Each auditoria offers an incomparable cinematic experience with a choice of homemade pizzas, sweet and savoury snacks and delectable cocktails delivered straight to your seat.
