If you missed our headliner event back in March, you’re in luck! “Steal This Story, Please!” is back by popular demand, including a live Q&A with the Oscar-nominated co-director Carl Deal.

Thursday, May 21st @ 7pm

Official synopsis:
Undeterred by armed soldiers, evasive politicians, and riot police, journalist Amy Goodman has reported some of the most consequential stories of our time. 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. Oscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water, The Janes) take us behind the scenes with the warm, wisecracking granddaughter of an Orthodox rabbi — raised in a tradition of asking hard questions – as she navigates a news landscape reshaped by technology, corporate consolidation, and political assaults on the press – and on truth itself. Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, Steal This Story, Please! is both a call to action and a celebration of resistance, posing the question: what happens to democracy when the press surrenders to power?

Thanks to the over 100 attendees who came out to the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force last week! It was quite special to hear director Mark Craig's perspective on this defining chapter of NASA history. He also joined us for a screening at the Savannah Arts Academy for Visual and Performing Arts and stuck around to talk with high school students about documentary filmmaking.

Tuesday, March 5th we'll have director Mark Craig here in Savannah for a FREE screening of the highly anticipated "Apollo 1".
