Summary:
A celebration of the revolutionary change Amy and David Goodman have witnessed during the two decades of their acclaimed television and radio information program Democracy Right now!-and how little individual acts from progressive heroes have produced permanent results.
In 1996 Amy Goodman began hosting a show called Democracy Today! to spotlight the problems and motions that are all too often disregarded by the corporate media. Today it’s the largest general public media collaboration in the US. This important reserve looks back again about Democracy Today!: TWO DECADES Covering the Motions Changing America within the last twenty years of Democracy Right now! and the effective actions and charismatic leaders who are re-shaping our world. Goodman requires us along as she would go to where in fact the silence is certainly, bringing out voices from your streets of Ferguson to Staten Isle, Wall Street, and South Carolina to East Timor-and other areas where folks are increasing up to demand justice.
Giving voice to those who have been overlooked, forsaken, and beaten down with the powerful, Democracy Now! pays tribute to those progressive heroes-the whistleblowers, the organizers, the protestors-who have brought about amazing, often invisible modification over the last couple of years in seismic methods. That is “an impassioned publication aiming to gasoline informed participation, outrage, and dissent” (Kirkus Testimonials).
