BY SALT SPRING DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, Steal This Story, Please! follows fiercely independent journalist Amy Goodman as she confronts politicians, CEOs and riot police to expose the truth. This thought-provoking documentary is a riveting critique of corporate media and a celebration of those who dare to challenge power. Renowned for her dogged efforts to call out injustices and hold the powerful accountable, Goodman’s bold life and work are celebrated in Steal This Story, Please! the latest Big Screen Film Night at ArtSpring on Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. Well-paced and optimistic, the film follows Amy Goodman across three decades to present day as a working reporter who refuses to internalize the limits imposed by big media, political intimidation or apathy. As the anchor of Democracy Now!, a daily nonprofit radio show broadcast over both real and digital airwaves, her bravery and energy shine through in every story she covers.
