The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz

The Library & Archives Services presents 'The Internet’s Own Boy: the life of Aaron Swartz', the computer programmer, writer and activist who campaigned for a free and open internet. This film is particularly pertinent in its exploration of access to information, as Swartz was indicted by US courts on various charges relating to accessing scholarly articles. It features interviews with key figures and colleagues, as well as his friends and family, telling the story of his work, campaigns and legal battles up to the end of his life at age twenty-six.
