Here's another movie on the Sundance channel that some folks might be 
interested in:

Revolution OS
In opposition to large corporations like Microsoft, many independent 
software creators are freely sharing program source code and 
collaborating internationally via the internet. This revolution has been 
dubbed the Open Source Movement and its story, told in this documentary 
by J.T.S. Moore, features interviews with computer visionaries, 
proponents of free software and the creators of the Linux operating 
system including Linus Torvalds, Eric Raymond and Richard Stallman. 
"It's a testament to Moore's skill as a documentarian that he manages to 
encapsulate the entirety of the open source software movement and keep 
non-techheads awake simultaneously" - Austin Chronicle. (2001) TVPG 
(1:25)
