Steal This Story, Please!

Undeterred by armed soldiers, evasive politicians, and riot police, Amy Goodman has reported some of the most consequential stories of our time. STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! is a gripping account of the trailblazing journalist 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 amplifies stories and voices too often silenced by commercial media.

Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (TROUBLE THE WATER, CITIZEN KOCH) 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. 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?

ONE SHOW ONLY! Wednesday, June 10 @ 8PM in Avalon 1
