The Darknet: A Journey into the Digital Underworld

It's a dark world in which you have to know how to travel encrypted and anonymized on the Internet: the darknet: stomping ground for drug dealers, arms dealers and child molesters.

Annette Dittert has embarked on a journey to get to know the light and dark side of this digital parallel universe.
