We Live in Public / **** (No MPAA rating)

“We Live in Public” (Unrated, 91 minutes). Provocative doc about “the greatest Internet pioneer you’ve never heard of.” Josh Harris founded the web company that pioneered internet audio/visual streaming in the 1990s, sold it for $80 million, gathered 100 volunteers to live communally online 24-hours a day, and lost his fortune. Ondi Timoner has followed him for 15 years, in good times and bad, and returned with a portrait of a genius/eccentric/screwball who left it all to grow apples. For Harris, the brave new world is behind him. Four stars
