Selected by De Groene Amsterdammer

On Sunday 22 March, independent weekly news magazine De Groene Amsterdammer presents two programmes centered on films selected by their editors: Steal This Story, Please (Tia Lessin, Carl Deal) and Coexistence, My Ass! (Amber Fares). After the screenings, De Groene Amsterdam will host a conversation about the films with guest speakers. See both films for just €22.

Steal This Story, Please!

The story of independent investigative journalist Amy Goodman and her work for the daily online, TV, and radio news programme Democracy Now! In addition to Goodman’s life story, this film shows the alarming history of the commercialization of media and attacks on press freedom in the US.

After the screening, De Groene Amsterdammer editor Margreet Fogteloo talks to editor-in-chief Xandra Schutte about independent journalism.

Coexistence, My Ass!

Portrait of Israeli comedian Noam Shuster-Eliassi. Once a figurehead for peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis, her stance shifted as the Israeli authorities grew increasingly radical. Both very funny and very urgent insight into the mindset of an activist comedian whom some now regard as an enemy of the state.

The screening is followed by a conversation between Groene Amsterdammers editor Lotfi El Hamidi and Lievnath Faber, founder/programme director of Oy Vey, about the current reality in Gaza.
