+ New Film - 'Erasing David', Nationwide Screening / Satellite Q & A +
David Bond has nothing to hide? but does he have nothing to fear?
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 on a chilling journey that forces him to contemplate the meaning of privacy - and the loss of it.
'Erasing David' is a feature length docuentary that will be playing in selected cinemas from the 29th April. The 29th April is the big premiere evening - after the film there will be a live Q&A from the Brixton Ritzy that will get beamed to their other screens. Taking part in the debate are David Davis, Shami Chakrabarti, Michael Nyman, Will Self and David Bond, the director. For more details visit www.erasingdavid.com.
