Last Saturday evening, I journeyed to O Cinema South Beach for the documentary Steal This Story, Please! Afterwards, I got to be an awkward fanboy for the film’s star, Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!—the O.G. of independent journalism. Real-life Amy, her trusty companion Zazu Goodpup, and filmmaker Tia Lessin joined us in the theater for a post-show Q and A, then I grabbed an early spot in line to meet the living legend. Operating the series of fan I-Phone and Android cameras was Amy’s frequent collaborator Denis Moynihan. I’ve been tuning in to Democracy Now! for 21 years, mostly digitally, although I used to catch the show on old fashioned FM radio when I was in Galveston, Texas. Steal This Story, Please! is a film the world needs right now. Go see it. stealthisstory.org democracynow.org
