All Governments Lie: Truth, Deception, and the Spirit of I.F. Stone
January 25, 2017 to January 26, 2017
An urgent and fascinating documentary. Even if you belong to the choir it's preaching to, it has the rare distinction of being a movie you can agree and argue with at the same time. The title makes it sound like a portrait of I.F. Stone, the trend-setting investigative journalist who railed against the sins of the U.S. government from the '50s through the early '70s. I.F. Stone was one of the great journalists of the 20th century, and he deserves a movie of his own. "All Governments Lie" is mostly devoted to the pluck and courage of his present-day inheritors. It's a portrait independent reporters who are carrying on the tradition of renegade muckraking (Matt Taibbi, Jeremy Scahill, Glenn Greenwald, Amy Goodman and others). --Variety
Talking heads including Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky and Ralph Nader. Featuring footage from the last six decades, "All Governments Lie" is a timely, convincing documentary that will cause audiences to question what they see and read
