Undeterred by armed soldiers, evasive 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 the press…and 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?

Life’s a banquet…and some poor suckers are starving!

Desire takes a dangerous turn in David Cronenberg’s controversial Cannes classic Crash, coming back for some late night encores in May! 

In Crash, James Spader plays a film producer drawn into a secretive subculture after a near-fatal car accident. Alongside his wife (Deborah Kara Unger), he encounters a group of outsiders led by the enigmatic Elias Koteas, whose members, including characters played by Holly Hunter and Rosanna Arquette, share an unsettling obsession with the erotic possibilities of car crashes. It’s exactly as wild as it sounds.

This cold, controversial drama explores the intersection of technology, desire, and the human body, making it potentially the most Cronenbergian film ever made.
