**** Hope you are well! Been a long time :-) I'm making movies to teach the world more about Aaron Swartz and to help the public better understand whistleblowers and whistleblower upload systems. I wanted to let you know about my little Kickstarter campaign for a movie I am producing independently, "From DeadDrop to SecureDrop" - it's about "SecureDrop," an anonymous upload system for whistleblowers that Aaron prototyped with Kevin Poulsen, one month before his death, that connects directly to news organizations (such as the Washington Post, Forbes, and The New Yorker): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/261957173/from-deaddrop-to-securedrop Here's a Tweet about it, if you're short on time: Please help fund "From DeadDrop to SecureDrop" and help more potential Whistleblowers learn about @SecureDrop http://bit.ly/SDrop I'm including a description of the project below! It's only going on for 4 more days, and I only have about $5,000 of the $20,000 I'm trying to raise, so any help -- or also Tweets and social media love would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :) Much love, lisa The film is entitled "From DeadDrop to SecureDrop," and provides a historical account of how the "SecureDrop" open source anonymous whistleblowing submission platform was originally prototyped by Kevin Poulsen and Aaron Swartz, and later, after Aaron's death, how it made its way its current home at the Freedom of the Press Foundation. People in the film (so far) include: Wired's Kevin Poulsen (how he was inspired by WikiLeaks and then convinced Aaron to work with him on the project), Trevor Timm and John Perry Barlow (of the Freedom of the Press Foundation), who sought out the DeadDrop prototype, Garrett Robinson (SecureDrop's current Development Lead) and Bill Budington (an EFF engineer who worked directly on the early codebase), and some influential figures familiar with the issues, such as Brewster Kahle (Founder of the Internet Archive and co-founder, with myself, of Aaron Swartz Day) and Cindy Cohn (Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation). I also interviewed Virgil Griffith (Tor2Web and Wikiscanner), as he and Aaron were good friends and worked on Tor2Web together. Jacob Applebaum has agreed to be interviewed for the film. (Besides being a WikiLeaks volunteer, he was good friends with Aaron.) Also, Sarah Harrison, who stood by Edward Snowden's side in Hong Kong and the Moscow airport, and assisted with getting him safe asylum in Russia, has agreed to be in the film! After learning more about whistleblower Chelsea Manning (in the course of my preparing to read her statement during my live Aaron Swartz Day event) video: https://youtu.be/qle9UvJGdYg?t=1h23m33s statement: http://www.aaronswartzday.org/chelsea-manning-2015/)... I came to realize that the film really needs to expand beyond the subject of the SecureDrop technology itself, to attempt to explain *why* these whistleblowers might decide to use WikiLeaks or SecureDrop to expose corruption in the first place: To inform the public and make the world a better place. I realize this sounds simple and obvious, but I don't think that most people are actually aware of this. Here's a post explaining how Ed Snowden chose the Constitution over a Non-Disclosure agreement, when he decided to blow the whistle: http://www.aaronswartzday.org/snowden-oath/ A third theme of the movie deals directly with an observation made by more than one of the people I interviewed for the film, about how SecureDrop will "help the next Ed Snowden" communicate with Journalists safely (so no one will have to go through what he went through, just to get a story out). The film suggests that SecureDrop could potentially usher in a new generation of whistleblower: One that won't necessarily have to put their whole life at risk, in order to "do the right thing."
