In this film, “Wikipedians” the folks who spend their days writing and editing articles, explain how the online encyclopedia works. In addition, the parties involved discuss Wikipedia’s ethics and quality of content. It quickly becomes clear that there are camps of both believers and critics.

How reliable is Wikipedia ? Do “the people” really hold the lease on wisdom? And since when do we believe that information should be free for all?

Director IJsbrand van Veelen goes looking for the truth behind Wikipedia. Only five people are employed by the company, and all its activities are financed by donations and subsidies.

After illuminating Google: Behind the Screen Director IJsbrand van Veelen is back again with this another great documentory about wikipedia. If you have some good spare time watch this video.
