Code for the People is a documentary short by director Bao Nguyen exploring the past, present, and future of the open web, examining who controls the internet and how to preserve its freedom against corporate consolidation. The film argues that the open web—which powers over 40% of the internet through open source software like WordPress—is under siege by digital gatekeepers and closed AI systems. Releasing summer 2026 with premieres in San Francisco and New York, it calls for developers and builders to reclaim the open source spirit that built the internet.
