The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz (2014)

The story of programming prodigy and information activist Aaron Swartz. From Swartz's help in the development of the basic internet protocol RSS to his co-founding of Reddit, his fingerprints are all over the internet.
But it was Swartz's ground breaking work in social justice and political organizing combined with his aggressive approach to information access that ensnared him in a two year legal nightmare. It was a battle that ended with the taking of his own life at the age of 26.
Aaron's story touched a nerve with people far beyond the online communities in which he was a celebrity. This film is a personal story about what we lose when we are tone deaf about technology and its relationship to our civil libertie.


The Skyjacker That Got Away (2009)

In 1971, on a flight from Portland to Seattle, a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked a plane and requested $200,000. After the FBI complied with the requests the plane re-entered the air with just the crew and Cooper.
Somewhere over Nevada, Cooper parachutes from the plane with the money and is never seen or heard from again. Now, with help of modern forensics, experts hope DNA analysis of Cooper's tie and recovered ransom money will solve the mystery of this infamous heist.
