Wikipedia and the Democratization of Knowledge

It includes interviews with Wikipedia founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, as well as contributors from Germany, France, Ghana, South Africa, the United States and other countries.

In addition to Wikipedia's successes, the film discusses several weaknesses of the project including the influence exerted by politicians, states and companies, and the limited representation of women's biographies and topics from Africa and Asia.

Questioning whether Wikipedia's conception of verifiability requiring written records is neutral or reflects a Eurocentric bias, the film discusses whether a revision of these standards is necessary.

In a review for Deutschlandfunk Kultur, Matthias Dell described the film as a good overview of the history of the project, trying to "weigh up and objectify" a lot.

However, regarding questions like how objective knowledge can be, what the standards for relevance are in a global perspective or what role Wikipedia could play in the media platform economy, to Dell the film "is not a unique contribution".

In a review for the daily newspaper Neues Deutschland, Bahareh Ebrahimi wrote that the documentary shows the "contradictions of a once utopian project".
