Watch a one-hour preview of the upcoming documentary Breaking The News and participate in a discussion with the San Francisco Public Press on independent journalism. This Indie Lens Pop-Up screening is presented by San Francisco Public Library and iTVS.  

Film Preview: Breaking The News 

Who decides which stories get told? A scrappy group of women and LGBTQ+ journalists buck the white male-dominated status quo, banding together to launch The 19th*, a digital news startup aiming to combat misinformation. A story of an America in flux, and the voices often left out of the narrative, the documentary Breaking the News shows change doesn’t come easy. 

NR, 60 mins., 2024. Closed captions (CC) in English.
