Cinematical is happy to share the following exclusive clip for Scott Glosserman and Nic Hill's documentary 'Truth in Numbers? Everything According to Wikipedia.'
The cinematic world is turning its camera on the Internet, and after the rise of 'The Social Network,' we've got a film looking at the man behind the wildly popular website Wikipedia. Purporting to offer "free access to the sum of all human knowledge," the doc investigates the cultural implications of this process, weaving pro and con debates about archiving, founder Jimmy Wales and questions about the sites "supposed neutrality" in the face of personal spin and bias.
This clip details the rise of Wales, and how -- much like the plot of 'The Social Network' -- Larry Sanger was left behind during Wales' rise to fame. The former claims to be the sole founder of Wikipedia,...
