What a privilege to host Amy Goodman from @democracynow last night at TIOH! We screened @stealthisstoryplease and had a chance to talk about her incredible career as a journalist, activist, and force of nature. I don’t necessarily agree with all of her positions, but am deeply inspired by her courage, her passion, her Jewish values, and her willingness to fight on behalf of those who need it. Special thanks to filmmaker Tia Lessin, and to @jewishstorypartners for their brilliant work supporting independent films.

🎞️ ‘STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE!’ - Amy Goodman is an American investigative reporter with thirty years experience in capturing global events from the front line. She travels the world to deliver independent, bird’s-eye coverage, ensuring her news remains unbought and uninfluenced by corporate conglomerates. Brazen and relentless when pursuing targets for a comment, her grassroots ‘Democracy Now!’ radio program, which she co-founded in 1996, airs on over 1,500 stations globally and is one of the few remaining sources of unbiased news. In an environment where media is heavily skewed and “fake news” has eroded public trust in reporting, her straight shooting approach is refreshing. Amy gives a voice to those who’ve been silenced, with her team speaking to everyday citizens impacted by the crises unfolding around them. Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin, this inspiring documentary captures Amy’s extraordinary career and her driving passion to present the truth to the masses. Watch this story, please!

Alex’s score 9/10
