News events and journalistic trailblazers stretching over many decades are linked together to tell this important story. This  film will resonate with audiences in the US and worldwide, as news media ownership increasingly falls into the hands of a few giant corporations.  During this year’s election coverage, US viewers continue to get daily doses of the ever increasing corporate owned journalism passing as “breaking news.ALL GOVERNMENTS LIE explores the legacy of I.F. Stone, widely held as the conscience of investigative journalism, whose       groundbreaking reporting filled his tiny 4-page newsletter, I.F.
