PANEL DISCUSSION ABOUT MODERN-DAY MEDIA

Steal This Story, Please!

Sponsored by Sol de Mendocino and Applewood Property Management

Join us for a lively discussion with local journalists about the state of media today after the screening of STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! The film follows the intrepid independent journalist Amy Goodman over 30 years. From the frontlines of global conflicts to the organized chaos of her daily news show Democracy Now!, Goodman broadcasts stories and voices routinely silenced by commercial media. The film takes us behind the scenes with the
warm, wisecracking granddaughter of an Orthodox rabbi—raised in a tradition of asking hard questions—as she navigates a news landscape reshaped by technology, corporate consolidation, and political assaults on truth itself. Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! is both a call to action and a celebration of resistance, posing the question: what happens to democracy when the press surrenders to power? 102 min.
