FILM NOTES
A rousing celebration of fearless journalism and the power of bearing witness.
From Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin, Steal This Story, Please! offers an intimate portrait of Amy Goodman, co-founder, host, and executive producer of the independent news program Democracy Now!. Drawing on decades of extraordinary archival footage, the documentary revisits pivotal moments in Goodman's career—from reporting the East Timor Massacre to covering the Iraq War, 9/11, and Gaza—stories often marginalised or ignored by mainstream outlets. Colleagues including Juan González, Jeremy Scahill, and Nermeen Shaikh offer insight into the determination and humanity behind her work, painting a vivid picture of a journalist raised in a tradition of asking hard questions.
This is essential viewing for anyone who cares about press freedom, social justice, and the state of democracy. The film is urgent and provocative, yet unexpectedly funny, capturing Goodman's warm, wisecracking spirit alongside her relentless pursuit of truth. As technology, corporate consolidation, and political pressure reshape the media landscape, Steal This Story, Please! poses a timely question: what happens to democracy when the press stops challenging power? A stirring call to action and a celebration of resistance, this documentary reminds us why bearing witness has never mattered more.
