The documentary directed by Brian Knappenberger about Aaron Swartz, the legendary legal transparency activist. In addition to his many accomplishments described in the film, including contributing to the RSS standard, Swartz's work on PACER, the federal court database, led to the creation of PlainSite in 2011. The restricted nature of academic journal articles, over which Swartz was wrongly prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, remains a major societal problem that causes impediments in scientific progress—and especially progress in medical research—on a daily basis.

Think Computer Foundation, which was a PlainSite affiliate while it existed, helped fund the creation of this documentary.

We miss Aaron and all the insight he shared.
