    This was probably the worst film to watch on a poor mental health day, but it was amazing to witness a sold out theater be inspired by Amy Goodman’s words and actions. There was no time for a Q&A in the theater, so she sat outside the venue for a long time after, speaking…

    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?

    Amy Goodman’s ability to stay laser-focused on the tough questions to find the most justice possible is beyond admirable, and I was moved to tears thinking about her and her team’s coverage of the news expedited my radicalization tremendously in middle school and high…

    The world doesn’t deserve people like Amy Goodman but we’re damn lucky to have her. This documentary succinctly tells her story, but rather than focusing on the biographical details, the bulk of the film is through the lens of the biggest stories she covered throughout her…
