October 1st, 2013 the founder of Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht, was arrested by the FBI in Glen Park Branch Library. Learn the inside story of one of the the most important and riveting digital crime sagas of the century, in the library where 'Dread Pirate Roberts' was caught.
In addition to being the only film with exclusive access to the Ulbricht family, Deep Web features the core architects of the Deep Web; anarchistic cryptographers who developed the Deep Web’s tools for the military in the early 1990s; the dissident journalists and whistleblowers who immediately sought refuge in this seemingly secure environment; and the figures behind the rise of Silk Road, which combined the security of the Deep Web with the anonymity of cryptocurrency.
Deep Web is available via Kanopy, Hoopla and DVD with your library card.
