Internet Documentaries
President Obama is great at raising money on The Internet. Sadly his respect for the freedom The Internet represents isn’t as great. Two Internet documentaries, The Internet’s Own Boy, about Aaron Swartz, and Citizen Four, about Edward Snowden were released this year. Citizen Four, went on to win the Academy Award for Outstanding Achievement in a Documentary Feature Film. Both are beautiful and important films. Perhaps one day there will also be a Chelsea Manning documentary.
I can’t recommend these films highly enough. Buy them. Watch them. Buy 2 copies! Money is a bigger vote than the ballot box.
