Full-Length Talk
Filmed at the One World Fair
Cummington, MA
56 minutes • DVD or VHS

      Widely recognized as America’s most fiercely independent award-winning journalist, Amy Goodman is host of DEMOCRACY NOW!, Pacifica's daily investigative television and radio news program. Pioneering the largest public media collaboration in the U.S., the program is broadcast nationally on over 500 public radio and television stations across the country, including Free Speech TV (Dish Network satellite channel 9415) and on Link TV (Dish Network satellite channel 9410 and LInk TV satellite channel 375).

      In this talk, Goodman speaks out about the dangers to our civil liberties posed by the Patriot Act and other repressive government measures, the threats to an independent press posed by FCC rules to allow further corporate consolidation of major media, and the deceptions of the Bush administration in launching the invasion of Iraq.

      Since 1996, DEMOCRACY NOW! has provided perspectives rarely heard in the U.S. corporate-sponsored media. The program regularly features independent and international journalists, grassroots leaders and peace activists, artists, academics, and independent analysts addressing the most critical issues of our time.
