Watch and share "Rewind" to help explain free software
This video, along with ShoeTool and The University of Costumed Heroes, is part of a series of animated shorts created for the FSF. Rewind is themed around collaboration, and the importance of freedom for progress.
Proprietary software holds us back from effecting change. The video reflects on lifesaving scientific discoveries, but any field or profession suffers similar consequences when our freedoms are limited. As the FSF celebrates thirty-five years of advancing and protecting user freedom this week, it is only fitting that we release a video that visually conveys a key reason why our mission is so important.

To further help us bring attention to user freedom for many years to come, please show your support for free software by sharing this video.
