Aaron Swartz, Tim Berners-Lee, Cindy Cohn.
Aaron Swartz was a programming prodigy who helped shape the digital landscape of today. He helped develop the internet protocol RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit. Chronicling his pioneering efforts crusading for open access and free speech and the resulting legal nightmare and tragedy that ensued, the documentary is a dynamic and moving portrait of a brilliant tech millionaire who renounced the values of Silicon Valley startup culture and used technology to tirelessly fight for social justice.
DVD; NTSC, region 1; widescreen (16x9, 1.78:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.
