Amy Goodman is one of the founding minds behind the vital independent media organisation Democracy Now! Over decades, Democracy Now! has covered civil unrest in places like East Timor, protests across America, provided hard hitting interviews with people like President Bill Clinton, and breaking news from crisis events.
In the essential documentary Steal This Story, Please!, co-directors Tia Lessin and Carl Deal follow Amy as she recounts her journalistic history, while also hearing about the plight of independent media and a free press in America and the world right now.
This is a vital piece of cinematic storytelling, urgent and inspiring. Steal This Story, Please! is screening at the Adelaide Film Festival and is having a limited run across Australia from 22 October 2026. Check your local cinemas for screening details, or visit StealThisStory.org for other viewing opportunities.
In the following interview, Amy and Carl talk about the importance of free press, the role of dogs in our lives, and more.

A venue where we experience art can be transformed by the art that is presented there. That's what will happen with the upcoming horror film screenings at the Sydney Opera House from 27 October to 31 October 2026 with the spine-tingling program of films presented under the banner: Hellhouse.
Featured films include Evil Dead 2, The Little Shop of Horrors, Angel's Egg, and screenings of Jennifer Kent's The Babadook with the director in attendance, and Häxan with live score by Madeleine Cocolas.
In the following interview, Stuart Buchanan, Head of Screen at the Sydney Opera House and the curator of Hellhouse, and Madeline Cocolas talk about horror films, curating a film festival for the Sydney Opera House, and what goes into creating a new score for a classic film like Häxan.
