A live Visionaries podcast recording featuring Alice Aedy in conversation with award-winning journalist Amy Goodman, exploring the role of storytelling in times of change.
Hosted by Alice Aedy, Visionaries is a podcast and community for storytelling changing the way we see the world. In the podcast, Alice sits down with filmmakers, photographers, artists and advocates to reflect on the moments, decisions and experiences that shape their work — and the role storytelling can play in changing how we see the world.
In this special live recording, Alice is joined by award-winning journalist Amy Goodman, whose unwavering commitment to truth-telling spans three decades of turbulent history. As the co-founder and host of Democracy Now!, Amy has reported from the frontlines of global conflict to the heart of political power, consistently amplifying voices often excluded from mainstream coverage. Drawing on that experience, the conversation explores the risks, pressures and defining moments that have shaped her career. Together, they will reflect on the responsibility of bearing witness, the emotional and ethical weight of the work, and how storytelling can shape public understanding and drive change.
Marking the UK Premiere of Steal This Story, Please! at Sheffield DocFest, this special event offers a rare, behind-the-scenes insight into the practice of journalism, and what it takes to keep showing up, asking questions, and telling stories that matter.
