". . . director Brian Knappenberger's gripping, well-researched movie makes a compelling argument that U.S. authorities went way overboard in their zeal to make an example out of the brilliant Swartz, who got into trouble for downloading 2 million research documents from MIT . . . Swartz was not a guy who was stealing music or movies for his own profit, or exposing spy secrets to embarrass the government. He was on a mission to make public research accessible to anyone who might need it. That caper, in just about anyone's book, isn't worth 50 years in prison. (Needless to say, no government officials come forward to defend their actions.)"
—David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
