      Audience Member British director David Bond decides to disappear, to "go underground", and hires top private investigators to find him within 30 days. On the first day of the pursuit he leaves the country and takes the opportunity to do interviews with various experts on surveillance and privacy. Meanwhile, the detectives, who at the beginning only had his name and photograph, by the end of the pursuit, collected a lot of publicly available information about him and his family. When, after 30 days, he goes into their office and sees what they know about him, he is shocked. This chilling documentary raises awareness about the degree of control and the accumulation of personal information in the hands of the government and corporations, and warns of the dangers of abuse of this information. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Might be a good movie for those in the UK, but sucks for security in the US Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member More like erasing from my memory. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A really clever doc that highlights what Big Brother Britain is actually up to, scary too see how many people have your data. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member An alright doc. Nothing in it should really be that new of news to most informed people. I am sure though there are plenty out there that will be shocked. It would have been so easy to stay off the grid for 30 days, especially over in the EU! I am up for the challenge..David Bond...send these PI's after me and I will stay off the grid for two months.
