New movie released about free software in developing countries!

This is pretty exciting — in 2006, BBC World created a documentary about free software being used in developing countries. It was a 2-part series and it is now available online for anyone to see!

Stories from The Codebreakers include computer and Internet access for school children in Africa, reaching the poor in Brazil, tortoise breeding programmes in the Galapagos, connecting villages in Spain, and disaster management in Sri Lanka. The documentary also includes interviews from key figures around the world.

You can read about the documentary, see an APDIP page about the documentary, or watch the movie online: full-screen and streaming.
