Steal This Story, Please! – Q&A Session 6/19/26

Fiercely independent journalist Amy Goodman has spent three decades holding the powerful to account, reporting from war zones and the Democracy Now! newsroom. Goodman came to the Latchis Theatre with the new film, STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! on Friday, June 19, at 7:00pm. This special screening of STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! included a conversation with Amy Goodman, brother David Goodman, host of VT Digger’s Vermont Conversation, Carl Deal, the co-director of the film, Ariel Goodman, Amy’s niece and award-winning journalist, and Zazu the Good Pup.

Steal This Story, Please! is a gripping portrait of the trailblazer whose unwavering commitment to truth-telling spans three decades of turbulent history. 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. 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 and political attacks on truth.
