Steal This Story, Please!

This film follows the intrepid independent journalist Amy Goodman (Democracy Now) for 30 years, as she confronts the forces trying to silence the voices excluded from the mainstream. 

SYNOPSIS

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.
