EFM: Content Film has added another title to its Berlin sales slate and will kick off talks with international buyers next week on Alex Winter’s documentary.
The company will show a promo from Deep Web, which chronicles the October 2013 arrest of Ross William Ulbricht, the 30-year-old entrepreneur alleged to be ‘Dread Pirate Roberts’ - the founder of online black market The Silk Road.
The documentary features exclusive interviews with the Ulbricht family including the protagonist’s parents Lyn and Kirk Ulbricht, who have become public advocates for digital rights and due process.
“The Silk Road was anarchy online, a free market for everything, regardless of the rule of law,” said Content’s film president Jamie Carmichael.
“This film pulls back the curtain on the revolutionary movement taking place with the hidden corners of the Internet.”
Deep Web is an EPIX Original Documentary. Winter produced alongside Glen Zipper and Marc Schiller and has previously collaborated with Schiller on Napster documentary Downloaded.
Content’s EFM sales slate includes Sundance documentaries Going Clear: Scientology And The Prison Of Belief from Alex Gibney The Nightmare by Rodney Ascher.
Rachel Nichols, Mekhi Phifer and Missi Pyle are the leads in action-thriller Pandemic, Ali Larter stars in horror film The Diabolical, while Martin Freeman and Anthony LaPaglia star in The Eichmann Show.
