When people discuss the issue of "openness" in the digital age, they talk about fostering free speech and protecting privacy and property rights without limiting freedom of expression. There are concerns that the internet filters imposed by governments and corporations might create "walled gardens" where access is extremely controlled and expression is no longer free. This video about the issues tied to keeping the Internet "open" features interviews shot at the 2007 Internet Governance Forum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Rio IGF was the second of five annual global events that attract stakeholders from all walks of life who gathered to discuss issues tied to the future of information and communications technologies.
This documentary was produced for Imagining the Internet http://imaginingtheinternet.org , an online resource exposing future possibilities while simultaneously providing a peek back at the past.
