When\u00a0Sir Tim Berners-Lee<\/a>\u00a0published his\u00a0proposal<\/a>\u00a0for the World Wide Web, he envisioned an open, universal space, where anyone could bring their ideas to life without having to ask for permission. Sir Tim\u2019s decision to make the web free and accessible to everyone has been transformational, unleashing a wave of creativity and innovation that has changed the world.<\/p>\n

ForEveryone.net<\/a>, directed by Jessica Yu, tells the story of the web\u2019s invention and Tim\u2019s mission to ensure it remains a free and open space. As the web faces a growing number of challenges from governments and companies who seek to control it, the film asks, will we fight for the web we want or let it be taken away?<\/p>\n
