The future of the internet is being decided right now and it needs our help. From acclaimed director Bao Nguyen (BTS: The Return, Be Water, The Greatest Night in Pop), CODE FOR THE PEOPLE is a documentary short exploring the past, present, and contested future of the open web. While more than 40% of the internet runs on open source WordPress, this film is about something much bigger than software. It is a cinematic interrogation of what the internet is actually for, who gets to own it, and what it takes to keep it free.
