Join us after the screening for a Q+A with director and two-time Academy Award nominee Rick Goldsmith!

Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink is 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?

Presented by The Maine Monitor in partnership with the Bangor Daily News, College of the Atlantic, Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs at Colby College, the Ellsworth American, the Mount Desert IslanderSaco Bay News, WERU Community Radio, and the University of New England.

Admission is free, but reservations are recommended.

Location Maine Film Center | 93 Main St., Waterville
