The internet used to feel like a place you could wander. Then somebody built fences.

Code for the People is a new documentary short about the open web: the people who built it, the walled gardens that swallowed it, and the open source movement quietly holding the door open for everyone.

As one voice in the film puts it: “We have this Promethean task to take the fire from the gods and bring it to the people.”

It’s streaming now.

The web belongs to all of us. Pass it on.
