Afghanistan's historic Ariana Cinema torn down to make way for shopping center
"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."
"Through the decades, downtown Kabul's Ariana Cinema had weathered revolution and war, emerging battered and bruised but still standing to entertain Afghans with Bollywood movies and American action flicks. Now, it is no more. On Dec. 16, demolition crews began to tear down the historic cinema, which first opened its doors to moviegoers in the early 1960s. A week later, there was nothing left."
The Independent emphasizes the need to send reporters on the ground to cover topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and to investigate financial and political influences. The outlet cites examples such as probing the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing a documentary, 'The A Word', spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent rejects paywalls to keep quality journalism accessible and seeks donations to fund reporting. In Kabul, the decades-old Ariana Cinema, a venue for Bollywood and American films, was demolished in December, erasing a significant cultural landmark amid restrictive policies.
