I can't stress enough how important it is for this story is to be told, and it's warnings heeded. This isn't a happy-go-lucky documentary about the amazing journey of a person (Go watch Tim's Vermeer for that), it's a dark, horrifyingly tragic story of one of the most brilliant and potentially influential people of my generation. And he was pushed to suicide by those who fear change and have a vested financial interest in keeping the old world. Please watch, share, and support Aaron's Law.

This is a great documentary that introduces you into the world of hackers and the people trying to silence them. I would definitely have given this documentary 5 stars if they had dug deeper into the actual death of Aaron Swartz and the controversy surrounding it. Other then that it covered the topic very well.

If you're even remotely interested in the issues facing our digital world and how we can fight back against the powerful interests who seek to control it, you will love this movie! Aaron was taken from the fight too soon but he left a legacy of inspiration in which we can all find strength.
