Intrepid journalist Amy Goodman has gone where many fear to tread in her thirty-year career, reporting from combat zones, and covering stories and promoting voices overlooked by mainstream media. This doc delves into her early life as the granddaughter of an orthodox Rabbi, her remarkable trajectory and her work hosting “Democracy Now!,” shining a light on the crucial role played by independent, investigative journalism in an era dominated by corporate ownership and drastic cuts to newsrooms.
