About this event
“Got to where the silence is, and say something” Amy Goodman Undeterred by armed soldiers, evasive politicians, and riot police, Amy Goodman has reported some of the most consequential stories of our time. Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-award winning filmmakers filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin ( Trouble the Water , Citizen Koch , 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 media landscape reshaped by technology, corporate consolidation, and political assaults on the press and on truth itself. From the frontlines of global conflicts to the organised chaos of her daily news show Democracy Now! , Goodman amplifies stories and voices too often silenced by commercial media. Colleagues and family offer insight into the determination and humanity behind her work. What comes through is Goodman’s knack for getting to the heart of an issue well before it reaches critical mass, and an approach to journalism that is both headstrong and deeply human. 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 stops challenging power?
