Aaron Swartz was writing web standards before he could drive. He went on to co-found Reddit, campaign against SOPA and argue that publicly funded research should be free to read. After he downloaded millions of academic articles at MIT, federal prosecutors charged him with felonies. Brian Knappenberger's documentary tells his story through family, friends and colleagues. It deals with his suicide at 26.
