[For] this National Library Week, get an early look at an upcoming documentary from Structure Films about the Internet Archive and its founder, @brewsterkahle.
The film follows Brewster’s battle to protect public access to knowledge and defend digital freedom—a fight that could shape the future of the internet.
Kahle humbly describes himself as a “digital librarian” at the Internet Archive.
I am Brewster [Kahle] digital librarian here at the Internet Archive. The idea is to build something completely wonderful, to build a library of… oh, uh, everything.
In the 1990s, I wanted to do something that’s positive with technology. Imagine a world where every word ever written, every picture ever painted, and every film ever shot could be viewed instantly in your home. Well, it’s not as far Fetched as it may seem. How do you make that power available to lots and lots of people? That’s where the internet comes in.
Enjoy this preview of what is to be a full length documentary
Hopefully motivating!
