It examines the history and contested future of digital independence through the lens of open-source software and WordPress. The documentary explores the struggle against corporate-controlled "walled gardens" and algorithm-driven platforms, framing open-source code as essential for preserving a free, democratic internet.

FOOTNOTE: Raises some interesting issues... but also problematic in the way it only mentions "Open Source", as if Free Software and its beliefs were not the origins of this movement. In fact, if Free Software hadn't to be there, surely Open Source would have not been around... and Torvalds wouldn't have heard RMS' lecture at the polytechnic school in Espoo, near Helsinki, Finland, which directly influenced him to adopt the GNU General Public License for "Linux" and provided the legal and cooperative foundation for what subsequently came about.... There have also been debates over WordPress, but that is a separate issue....
