Silk Road: Drugs, Death and the Dark Web
In this documentary, we delve into the dark world of the Silk Road, an online marketplace where illegal drugs, weapons, and other illicit goods were bought and sold. The site was only accessible through the dark web, a hidden part of the internet that allowed users to remain anonymous.
The founder of Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht, believed he was creating a libertarian utopia where people could buy and sell whatever they wanted without government interference. However, the reality was much darker.
As the site grew in popularity, law enforcement agencies around the world began to take notice. Drug overdoses, murders, and other crimes were linked to Silk Road, leading to a massive international manhunt for Ulbricht.
Ultimately, Ulbricht was arrested and sentenced to life in prison, but the legacy of Silk Road lives on. This documentary explores the impact of the dark web on society and the consequences of unchecked online freedom.
