Deep Web (2015)
Deep Web gives the inside story of one of the most important and riveting digital crime sagas of the century -- the arrest of Ross William Ulbricht, the 30-year-old entrepreneur convicted of being 'Dread Pirate Roberts,' creator and operator of online black market Silk Road. As the only film with exclusive access to the Ulbricht family, Deep Web explores how the brightest minds and thought leaders behind the Deep Web and Bitcoin are now caught in the crosshairs of the battle for control of a future inextricably linked to technology, with our digital rights hanging in the balance.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Pretty Good
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I went into this expecting this documentary to explain something about the deep web, or how it came to be, to some sort of interesting extent. But really it just goes on and on about how amazing, moral, and philosophical certain users supposedly are. Mainly, the creator of the Silk Road. I'm a big fan of the Tor project, and I even like what the Silk Road did. But even as a fan, the extent they go into glorifying its creator is too much. They should have called this "Silk Road: Why Its Creator is Great." Another issue, is they focused too much on Tor. As if that is all there is to the deep web.And just the way the story is presented, wasn't very engaging. The pacing seemed too slow. Although I don't really know enough about film production to pinpoint what caused me to perceive it that way.

This documentary is not about the deep web in general, but rather more tightly focused on The Silk Road and Ross Ulbright trial.Like all documentaries based on this subject it gives you clear instructions of how to go on the deep web using Tor and buy drugs using Bitcoins. The reporters always claim its for educational purposes but I don't see why anyone needs a step by step guide on how to buy drugs online unless they really want to do that. I think this is wrong and can only be harmful.Youtube is full of documentaries and guides like this that claim to be educational in order to prevent them being taken down.If the media hadn't blown the lid on the Silk Road, there wouldn't have been heaps of school kids buying drugs who didn't know about it before. FACT This is a documentary you do not want your kids to see.
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.
