Join us for the Opening Night of Docs Ireland, as we welcome journalist Amy Goodman and filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin to discuss Steal This Story, Please!

Fiercely independent U.S. journalist Amy Goodman has spent three decades holding the powerful to account, reporting from conflict zones and the Democracy Now! Newsroom.

In Steal This Story, Please!, Oscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin craft a riveting portrait of journalism’s power – and peril – in an era of corporate control. As a cartoonishly villainous U.S. President, amongst others, wage an assault on press freedoms – and on truth itself – owners of news outlets have been all too willing to capitulate. Meanwhile, there are a few working journalists, like Amy Goodman, fighting against this on a daily basis. Hope and light are found there.

Amy Goodman and the filmmakers will join us live in person for a special Q&A after the film, hosted by Northern Irish journalist Aoife Moore.
