FILM 1540: THE INTERNET'S OWN BOY:
THE STORY OF AARON SWARTZ
The 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. Written
