10. The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz
Director: Brian Knappenberger
Stars: Aaron Swartz, Tim Berners-Lee, Cindy Cohn
Synopsis: The story of programming prodigy and information activist Aaron Swartz, who took his own life at the age of 26.
This documentary is a strong and poignant piece that spells out quite clearly; determination and a belief for what you stand for, can give others hope. Aaron Swartz lived in a time when real criminals from the financial crisis walked free and dined with the President, whilst people of Swartzʼs ilk became targets — simply because they threatened to breakdown the corrupt ethics that others had laid down before them. — James Arthur Armstrong
