Run time: 83 min. | USA
Software engineer Robb Topolski was only trying to access turn-of-the-century barbershop quartet music (legally) when he made an unsettling discovery: his service provider was covertly participating in a practice to filter and control its users’ content. What followed would make him the unlikeliest of heroes in the "Net neutrality" debate and would force the federal government to focus on the policies carried out by the nation’s largest media corporations. Filmmakers Georgia Sugimura Archer and Kristin Armfield expertly interweave Robb’s inspiring personal battle against censorship with opinions on both sides of the issue from politicians, commentators and musicians, including Henry Rollins and Ian MacKaye, who help put a fine point on what it means to really be “punk.”

Post-screening discussion with filmmaker Georgia Sugimura Archer, Michael Bracy, Policy Director, Future of Music Coalition, film subject and New America Foundation technology consultant Robb Topolski, Michael Winship, President, Writers Guild of America East, moderated by Nancy Marshall-Genzer, Marketplace Senior Reporter
