Deep Web (2015)

It is about documentary film about silk route , the dark web , torr and how illegal commerce of drugs happen online. The documentary also explores the threat of doing illegal business online. The film also talk about privacy policy, privacy of the people and the fact that government is spying on you. The documentary is also about the case of Ross Ulbricht , who is been accused of being administrator of Silk Route website which is responsible for drug business. I would say that the documentary is very much informative but enlightens us with the many of the sad and depressing fact. Although I found the tittle little bit misleading as they merely talked about deep web.

Well, it's been pointed out before, but: This is not a movie about the deep web, not about the dark net, not about TOR, not really about Silk Road either, but about Ross Ulbricht aka Dread Pirate Roberts (DPR), who was allegedly the man who set up a trade platform called Silk Road on the dark web, which was mostly used for trading (illegal) drugs. Using DPR's account, several murders were ordered and paid for, and there is some controversy whether this done by Ulbricht or by someone else using the same account. If it was, Ulbricht has failed to identify them.For about 30 minutes, this documentary does a good job of narrating the story of Silk Road and Ulbricht, and was pretty informative to me as I didn't know the particulars of this story. For the rest of its running time, the movie turns into an emotional plea for Ulbricht because Silk Road was somehow a tool for eliminating drug-related crime, because TOR could potentially be a tool for promoting democracy in dictatorships (although, in reality, all it seems to be used for is trading drugs), and because his mum and dad don't think their boy could have done such a nefarious thing.The movie is fair enough to admit to the fact that, despite Ulbricht claiming that he was framed and that he was not the chief Operator behind Silk Road, he had kept a detailed log about his activies with Silk Road.Should be called "Free Ross Ulbricht".I particularly didn't enjoy self-styled cypherpunk Amir Taaki spouting pseudorevolutionary BS.

Not heading to the Wizard of Oz, although I guess you will see a lot of colorful things if you go down that road. Actually it's a site where people sold drugs. But it was more than that. Sticking it to the man, making the public aware of how vulnerable we all are and how our privacy is being squashed everyday.Unfortunately it is actually more concerned of uncovering the Silk Road thing and the trial that commenced out of it, than diving into the deep (web). So the title may feel a bit misleading, nevertheless an intriguing movie to watch. So if you are not too obsessed about learning what the Deep Web is (it might be too technical anyway), this movie delivers as a documentary. Some questions raised are really important! Let's see where we go from here ...

As someone who is very interested in current events, politics and world history, I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that I did not know anything about Silk Road or had even followed the trial of Ross Ulbricht. Yes, I did read the headlines announcing the verdict but it was only after watching this fine documentary did I learn about the trial and the issues surrounding Silk Road and the charges against Mr. Ulbricht. The "facts" are placed in context and many questions remain but what is presented in this film should be seen by all Americans and people seeking justice. This film is a must see even if it's only to get your footing on where Internet technology is heading and the dangers that lurk out there for all of us. Again, this is a "must see film" and I implored everyone take the time to view this film.
