Tuesday, October 21st at 7:30 The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz (USA, 105 minutes, documentary, rated R) The story of programming prodigy and information activist Aaron Swartz. From Swartzs 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 Swartzs 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. Aarons story touched a nerve with people far beyond the online communities in which he was a celebrity. “A documentary as gripping as any fictional film I’ve seen this year.” – Chicago Sun-Times, Richard Roeper youtu.be/vL38_qFqp-A
