See the Story. Meet the Journalist.
On May 17 KOOP Radio is partnering with Democracy Now! and the Austin Film Society for a special evening celebrating independent journalism and the power of community media.
Steal This Story, Please! is a portrait of Amy Goodman and her decades-long commitment to truth-telling outside corporate media, the film offers a timely look at the role of independent journalism in shaping public understanding.
Join us for a sneak preview screening at the Austin Film Society Cinema, followed by a Q&A with Amy Goodman and Tia Lessin, then continue the afternoon at a private meet and greet with Amy Goodman at The Brewtorium. Guests at the meet and greet will receive a signed poster.
