"Freedom Downtime" is a documentary film sympathetic to the convicted computer hacker Kevin Mitnick,
directed by Emmanuel Goldstein and produced by 2600 Films.

The documentary centers on the fate of Mitnick,
whom is claimed to have been misrepresented in the feature film Takedown, which is based on real events.
As well as documenting a number of computer enthusiasts
who drive across the United States searching and demonstrating their discontent
with certain aspects of the bootleg script of Takedown they had acquired.
One major point of criticism by them of Takedown was that it ended with Mitnick being convicted
to serve a long-term prison sentence.
While in reality, at the time the film's production, Mitnick had not yet been in front of a court;
although nevertheless, was to be incarcerated for five years without bail in high-security facility.
Freedom Downtime also touches on what happened to other hackers after being sentenced.
The development of the Free Kevin movement is also covered
