A fascinating story — covering the U.S. government’s (allegedly illegal) hunt for the mastermind behind the web site of Silk Road, where drugs (and much else) are bought and sold in great quantity behind a wall of anonymity (thanks to the linking together of software — Tor — that enables anonymous communication, and the digital currency Bitcoin) and of the more general movement to build space — the so-called Deep Web — where prying eyes cannot (easily) go. Unfortunately, this documentary stays at too high a level and feels too much, for my tastes, as an only a brief, and relatively one-sided, intro this topic. However, it’s a fascinating and important topic, so worth the viewing.
