Plot

Exploring the shadowy realms of the darknet, this documentary delves into the infamous Silk Road, a black market website that surfaced in 2011. Conceived by an enigmatic libertarian figure known as The Dread Pirate Roberts, the platform operated like an illicit Amazon, catering to drug users seeking anonymity and liberation from legal oversight. As it flourished, Silk Road transformed into a multi-million dollar digital drug empire, raising questions about the balance between freedom and regulation in the online world.
