This is the story of a new wave of independent journalists who are changing the face of media, providing alternatives to mainstream, corporate news outlets, and carrying on the legacy of an iconoclastic rebel journalist named I. F. Stone, whose fearless reporting from 1953 to 1971 filled a tiny 4-page newsletter which he wrote, published, and carried to the mailbox every week. The camera follows them as they dig for truth, while media conglomerates that own the mainstream news sources are increasingly reluctant to investigate or criticize government policies – particularly on defense and security, or the rampant intrusion of state surveillance into citizens’ private lives.
