I'm in Toronto for the Hot Docs screening of The Internet's Own Boy, a documentary about the life, persecution and death of Aaron Swartz, in which I appear. The film will be in general release (as well as a separate Creative Commons release) this summer, starting on June 27. The trailer, just released, gives a good sense of the emotional heft, high production values, and intellectual rigor of this excellent film.
