Taking on politicians, CEOs and riot police, Amy Goodman has reported some of the most urgent and underreported stories of our time. Steal This Story, Please! is a gripping account of the trailblazing journalist whose unwavering commitment to truth-telling spans three decades of turbulent history. Drawing on an extraordinary archive, Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water, Citizen Koch, 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 media landscape reshaped by technology, corporate consolidation, and political assaults on the press. Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, Steal This Story, Please! is both a powerful critique of mainstream media, and a celebration of those who challenge it.
Presented as part of CSU’s Democracy Summit in partnership with ACT Human Rights Film Festival. Join us for a special screening of the film followed by a Q&A (guest TBA).

The College of Liberal Arts Democracy Summit is moving to the fall!
Join students, scholars, and community partners October 26–27 for a smaller fall gathering focused on conversation, connection, and democratic engagement.
The Summit is part of the College of Liberal Arts’ Strengthening Democracy initiative, which brings together people across CSU and Colorado to explore and advance democratic engagement through teaching, research, dialogue, and meaningful collaboration.
After gathering for the 2026 Spring Democracy Summit in March, the College is moving the Summit to the fall as part of a new annual rhythm. This October gathering marks the transition and creates a new opportunity to come together around the work of democracy.
