The Amy Goodman “Steal The Story, Please” Premieres at the 2025 DOCNYC Festival

It is the time of the year for the most interesting documentaries to be available for the film community.

NYC PREMIERE Amy Goodman “believes that journalism put to its highest use can be the greatest force for good that the world has ever seen,” says her former colleague Dave Isay in Steal This Story, Please! It’s the reason that Goodman and her signature show Democracy Now! (celebrating its 30th year in 2026) are revered for integrity and dauntlessness.

DOC NYC alumni Tia Lessin and Carl Deal literally chase after Goodman as she pursues the stories that Western corporate media increasingly finds inconvenient to cover. Along the way, they reveal the personal side to her iconic persona, confirming depths of empathy behind the scenes that balloon our appreciation of the force that is Goodman. — Jaie Laplante

The first and second screenings will be followed by a Q&A with director/producer Carl Deal, director/producer Tia Lessin, and film protagonist Amy Goodman.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
