Synopsis

Amy Goodman has reported some of the most consequential stories of our time. Steal This Story, Please. is a gripping portrait of a journalist whose unwavering commitment to truth-telling spans three decades of turbulent history.

Moviegoers are saying

This documentary about fearless journalist Amy Goodman strikes audiences as both inspiring and emotionally devastating, with viewers consistently praising her decades of frontline reporting from massacres to corporate corruption. While most find the film overstuffed with content, they're moved by Goodman's unwavering commitment to truth-telling despite being beaten by police, developing chronic illness from 9/11 coverage, and witnessing global atrocities firsthand.

Live in such a way that the movie of your life is overstuffed and too dense precisely because it also happens to be the history of four decades of documenting American capitalist imperialism. If storytelling has a healing power (I believe it does) and journalism is the…

Amy Goodman is pretty fantastic. That’s the thesis of the doc and I support it. What an incredible career (present continuous) and experiences. Can someone please find out where her resilience and energy comes from and do they deliver?

Hot Docs 2026 #9: Special Presentations (Canadian Premiere) We need more people in this world like Amy Goodman. Not only for the fact that they've been standing up for what's right, but because the kind of journalism she's put out is refreshing against a wave of corporate…
