Democracy Now documentary premieres April 10, traces 30-year independent news outlet from radio to television
Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez launched Democracy Now! as a daily election program on WBAI community radio 30 years ago, expanding from 9 stations to television coverage starting in 2001 during the 9/11 attacks. The outlet operates independently within Pacifica Radio and has maintained daily broadcast schedules across multiple platforms. A new documentary titled "Steal This Story, Please!" examines the organization's history and Goodman's career in public broadcasting. The film releases in theaters today, supported by viewer donations to the outlet's website.
