Movie description: Academics need access to ideas. Paywall investigates the world of academic publishing, challenging the power of for-profit academic publishing houses and the inequalities they perpetuate around the globe. With increasing numbers of researchers using Creative Commons licenses to circulate their work, this documentary questions the rationale behind a business model that costs our institutions $25.2 billion per year
