This 88-minute documentary tells the story of one secretive hedge fund that is plundering America’s newspapers and the journalists who are fighting back. Investigative reporter Julie Reynolds, Denver Post editorialist Chuck Plunkett and a handful of others, backed by the NewsGuild union, go toe-to-toe with the faceless Alden Global Capital in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism across America. Who will control the future of America’s news ecosystem: Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit, or those who see journalism as an essential public service and the lifeblood of our democracy? Watch the trailer HERE.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with two-time Academy Award nominated Producer/Director Jack Goldsmith and we will discuss empowering actions to fight back. This is a unique opportunity since the film is not available on any streaming platform.
