Inside the Dark Web

BBC Worldwide Ltd., (production company.). Infobase, (film distributor.).

Summary: The Dark Web is a secret online space that allows users complete anonymity. As online surveillance increases, this virtual world has grown in popularity. For some it is a place where criminals can operate - a shadowy underworld where users can purchase anything from illegal drugs to credit card details. For others, it is a haven, free from the government control and censorship that threatens the regular web. As users, programmers, governments and businesses battle over control of our online world, Horizon takes a trip through the Dark Web and meets the scientists, engineers and programmers fighting to save the internet.
