The Deep Web is the term given to areas of the internet that cannot be detected by usual search engines and thus is a hotbed of organised crime. When a site called Silk Road was discovered selling illegal drugs, the FBI had a hard time uncovering the person/s behind it. In 2013, however, a young man named Ross Ulbricht was alleged by the FBI to be the ringleader behind the site, under the name Dread Pirate Roberts. There was multiple pieces of evidence found on his computer at the time, though Ulbricht has since claimed in interviews that there were in fact several people operating under the pseudonym. As he awaits sentencing under four separate charges for his involvement, people are having some doubts over his guilt. If he is behind Silk Road, he's done a remarkable job in fooling those closest to him.

This explorative documentary about underground web activity details the case of Ross Ulbricht and his alleged involvement with dealing drugs over black market 'eBay' Silk Road. Directed and written by Alex Winter ('Downloaded', 'Freaked'), it features a variety of conflicting interviews and has been narrated by none other than Keanu Reeves. 'Deep Web' will feature on Epix on May 31st 2015.
