📽 THIS SUNDAY AND MONDAY we are showing STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! plus Q&A's with director CARL DEAL 🌟
Amy Goodman takes on soldiers, politicians, and corporate media in a fearless pursuit of truth.
Undeterred by armed soldiers, smooth-talking politicians, and riot police, journalist Amy Goodman
has reported some of the most consequential stories of our time. Steal This Story, Please! is a
gripping portrait of the trailblazer whose unwavering commitment to truth-telling spans three decades
of turbulent history. From the frontlines of global conflicts to the organized chaos of her daily news
show Democracy Now!, Goodman broadcasts stories and voices routinely silenced by commercial
media.
Oscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water, The Janes) take us behind
the scenes with the warm, wisecracking granddaughter of an Orthodox rabbi — raised in a tradition of
asking hard questions – as she navigates a news landscape reshaped by technology, corporate
consolidation, and political assaults on truth itself. Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, Steal
This Story, Please! is both a call to action and a celebration of resistance, posing the question: what
happens to democracy when the press surrenders to power?
