The Clairidge

Undeterred by armed soldiers, smooth-talking 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 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?
Q&amp;A with Executive Producer Julie Cohen, moderated by Carla Gutierrez, to follow Monday, April 20th’s 7:00pm screening

Argent Funding Group

Argent Funding Group tells the stories that traditional banks overlook — the business owner with real revenue and real momentum who was declined because an outdated model only saw an old credit score; the deal that was saved because capital moved in days instead of months; the commercial property owner who unlocked up to 85% LTV to reinvest and scale; and the operator whose consistent cash flow told a stronger story than any static bureau report ever could. What makes AFG unique is that we underwrite momentum, not just history — we focus on deposits, receivables, contracts, and operational strength rather than backward-looking metrics. We move at the speed of business, structure capital around real-world operations, communicate directly without committee delays, and position ourselves not just as a funding source, but as a practical, long-term capital partner committed to helping businesses move forward when others only look in the rearview mirror.
