In January this year I told you about now deceased internet activist Aaron Swartz. I shortly mentioned that he very much seemed like the modern stereotype of the young righteous hacktivist made flesh. His efforts portrayed very well the empowering effects new media can have for teenagers. In an afterword to Cory Doctorow’s YA novel “Homeland” he wrote A ragtag bunch of kids doesnt stop one of the most powerful forces in Washington just by typing on their laptops! But it did happen. And you can make it happen again!” Now the documentary “The Internet’s Own Boy” about his life and work has been released. This is a great movie to watch for everyone who is interested in internet activism, digital rights and recent politics. It is available for free as download or stream on the Internet Archive.
