I was drawn to this documentary topic when I learned that public funds that come out of tax payers' pockets fund important scientific research that is locked behind paywalls and inaccessible to the general public. As we filmed this documentaryI was struck by the global energy and enthusiasm toward open access and the strong resistance to the movement by many of the world's top publishers. Further, I found that the funds paid to academic publishers are heavily burdening the higher education market, contributing to the rising tuition fees at all universities, the closure of many institutions and, ultimately, limiting science and progress.
