Deep Web (film)

Deep Web is a movie about a real-life incident that happened in 2013. It is about a computer programmer named Ross Ulbricht who created an online marketplace called Silk Road which was used by people to buy and sell drugs, weapons, and other illegal stuff. Ross was eventually caught by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and charged with multiple crimes. The movie shows the story of how Ross was arrested and the trial that ultimately ended up with him being sentenced to life in prison. It also highlights the debate around internet freedom, with some people arguing that Silk Road provided a safer method for people to engage in trade that would otherwise be very hard or dangerous to do.
