For more than three decades, Goodman has reported from the frontlines of global conflicts, natural disasters, and grassroots movements, amplifying voices routinely silenced by commercial media. Steal This Story, Please! follows her journey from the wisecracking granddaughter of an Orthodox rabbi—raised in a tradition of asking hard questions—to an intrepid journalist undeterred by soldiers, riot police, and smear campaigns. Granted rare access behind the scenes of “Democracy Now!,” directors Carl Deal and Tia Lessin capture Goodman and her team’s unwavering commitment to provide a vital counterpoint to shrinking newsrooms and media monopolies, to prove that independent reporting remains essential to democracy itself. Urgent, inspiring, and with unexpected humor, the film offers both a celebration of Goodman’s legacy and a stirring reminder of what’s at stake when truth is under siege.
