Synopsis

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.

I was disappointed by the lack of cohesion in the soundtrack, as it seemed to lack a clear direction or theme. The music did not enhance the storytelling but rather served as a distracting element throughout the film. I believe a more thoughtful and cohesive approach to the soundtrack could have greatly improved the impact of the documentary.
