Through decades of archive footage, this compelling portrait follows investigative journalist Amy Goodman as she takes on soldiers, politicians and corporate media in pursuit of truth.
Oscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin trace Goodman's career from her early days in radio through to the present, revisiting stories often minimised or ignored by mainstream US media: the massacre in East Timor, violent suppression of dissent in Nigeria, life in Iraq before the US invasion, and reporting on the ground in Gaza. Colleagues and family offer insight into the determination and humanity behind her work. What comes through is Goodman's knack for getting to the heart of an issue well before it reaches critical mass, and an approach to journalism that is both headstrong and deeply human. Steal This Story, Please! is both a sharp critique of corporate media and a celebration of what journalism can be when it refuses to look away.
