TrailerThe story of programming prodigy and information activist Aaron Swartz. From Swartz's help in the development of the basic internet protocol RSS to his co-founding of Reddit, his fingerprints are all over the internet. But it was Swartz's groundbreaking work in social justice and political organizing combined with his aggressive approach to information access that ensnared him in a two year legal nightmare. It was a battle that ended with the taking of his own life at the age of 26. Aaron's story touched a nerve with people far beyond the online communities in which he was a celebrity. This film is a personal story about what we lose when we are tone deaf about technology and its relationship to our civil liberties.Actors: Tim Berners-Lee, Cindy Cohn, Gabriella Coleman, Cory Doctorow, Peter Eckersley, Brewster Kahle, Lawrence Lessig, Zoe Lofgren, Carl Malamud, Quinn Norton, Tim OReilly, ...»Director: Brian KnappenbergerCountry: United StatesDuration: 105 minQuality: HDRelease: 2015IMDb: 8.0Rating(4) Voted0 CommentsSort By- Newest

Critic Reviews of "The Internets Own Boy The Story of Aaron Swartz"
Entertainment WeeklyDecember 03, 2014Talking (egg)heads reiterate outrage over the Obama Justice Department's witch hunt against him, but Swartz's ex-girlfriend adds heart when she tearfully recalls first seeing the ''end date'' on his Wikipedia page.
Seattle TimesJuly 10, 2014Fascinating, maddening, and ultimately very sad.
San Francisco ChronicleJuly 09, 2014The film not only canonizes its hero - who committed suicide amid a nasty federal indictment against him - but also brushes aside any big-picture concerns about national security and Internet piracy.
Globe and MailJune 27, 2014A touching, morally outraged portrait that, in memory of Swartz, may inspire people to ask hard questions about how the new world is being shaped away from view, behind closed doors.
rec.arts.movies.reviewsJanuary 22, 2015A brilliant and idealistic soul sacrificed at the altar of Barack Obama's war on intellectual and political transparency.
Laramie Movie ScopeNovember 12, 2014I was hesitant about seeing this movie. I thought it was just another film glamorizing suicidal people. It turns out to be more of a celebration of the short, but incredibly productive life of Aron Swartz and the things he stood for.
Observer (UK)August 31, 2014Knappenberger argues that the case against Swartz was overzealously pursued in order to make an example of him and on the evidence presented here it's hard to disagree.
OregonianAugust 29, 2014Brian Knappenberger's captivating film gives much to think about, including what oversight should be required when the government looks into our lives.
Flick FilosopherAugust 29, 2014An essential - and enraging - documentary about the life, career, and death of Internet activist Aaron Swartz, a danger to corporate hegemony whose work could not be allowed to continue.
