This project was thought to bring a group of talented developers together to create something amazing without profit or large greedy earnings from big tech.
We decided that an Open Source streaming platform application could have a really big impact on people who are far less fortunate than our community, as we have luxuries that we take for granted.
A lot of people in the world do not have access to the internet, and a lot of people who do can not afford all the movie streaming sites that charge money per month which all add up to be quite expensive for the lower income households.
Open movie provides a streaming service for film and television shows for everyone around the world and especially the lower class income households to watch.
During the 2020 global COVID19 pandemic I was distressed in cable and satellite televisions repeating the same films and tv shows throughout and still continue to repeat without the individuals being able to choose the shows or films that they want to watch.
That is why in May 2021 we decided to create open-movie.org the first real OpenSource streaming platform designed to help the lower income households, and not to be forced to watch the same thing over and over feeling like you are in a "groundhog day".
Open movie is fully developed by developers all around the world with the idea to create something bigger than ourselves during the times of need.
Open movie is a free open source software as a service streaming site designed to be help with the poverty in the world.
