I thought the most useful component of the movie was its ability to not-so-subtly point out how Jimmy Wales has essentially lied about his role and impact in the creation of Wikipedia. Larry Sanger (the real founder) is presented in a much more hospitable light. It was delightful seeing Sanger joyfully playing the violin, while Wales wanders the cold streets of New York, alone and over a thousand miles from his ex-wife and his daughter.

Reap, sow, and all that.
