Revolution OS Short info:

Documentary about Linux and the Open Source movement.
Contains interviews with Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallmann, Bruce Perens and many other V.I.P.s of Linux.
Plus a second DVD with over 70 minutes of bonus content.

The documentary Revolution OS tells the inside story of the hackers who rebelled against the proprietary software model and Microsoft to create GNU/Linux and the Open Source movement.

Microsoft fears GNU/Linux, and rightly so. GNU/Linux and the Open Source & Free Software movements arguably represent the greatest threat to Microsoft's way of life. Revolution OS tracks down the key movers and shakers behind Linux, and finds out how and why Linux became such a potent threat.

Revolution OS features interviews with Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Brian Behlendorf, Michael Tiemann, Larry Augustin, Frank Hecker, and Rob Malda.
The film has screened in numerous film festivals and won Best Documentary at both the Savannah Film & Video Festival and the Kudzu Film Festival. Revolution OS is shot in cinemascope on 35mm film in Silicon Valley and runs 85 minutes. Our two-disc special edition contains a second DVD with 70 minutes of additional interviews, biographies, the "Free Software Song" and much more.

To get an impression you can watch the first 8 minutes of the film here.
