Portrait of independent journalist Amy Goodman and her battle to get the real story out in an age of corporate crafted news, where every story comes with an agenda.
This is an excellent tale of what it's like to be in the media circus today. Its a take that is heartbreaking in many ways since it's clear that many of the people around Goodman are more interested in a buck and fame and not the truth. It's a tale that will open your mind as to just how skewed things are, and I say this as someone who tries to follow the news and who has seen more docs like this then is healthy.
While the film covers similar ground to some other journalists fighting the good fight across the globe, this one hit home simply because it is here at home. Watching the film, we realize we are not that far off then places like Russia and China in media control.
Highly recommended, STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! is an important one to hear if we want to remain in a genuine democracy.
