Epix Original Documentary - Deep Web





Deep Web investigates the events surrounding Silk Road, the online marketplace for selling illegal drugs on the dark web that was eventually shutdown by the FBI. At its peak it had over 900,000 registered users and generated over $1.2bn in sales. This documentary covers the trial of Silk Road owner Ross Ulbricht, who operated the site under the pseudonym ‘Dread Pirate Roberts’, and explores the issues of digital and constitutional rights, cryptography, the untraceable Bitcoin currency, and the War on Drugs.
