Erasing David

David Bond lives in one of the most intrusive surveillance states in the world. He decides to find out how much private companies and the government know about him by putting himself under surveillance and attempting to disappear – a decision that changes his life forever. Leaving his pregnant wife and young child behind, he is tracked across the database state by two ruthless private investigators, on a chilling journey that forces him to contemplate the meaning of privacy – and the loss of it.

While discussing the film, the children concluded that the human right to the protection of personal information and privacy are very often violated in the world. They tried to find ways to solve this problem. The proposals included improving the state law enforcement system and the need to analyse all the information which people share about themselves.
