Filmmaker David Bond tries to see how much information is out there about him. He received a government letter about a loss of data that involved him and many of his fellow British citizens. He hires two private investigators to find him in 30 days and they're only given his name and picture. He leaves his pregnant wife and young child as he tries to disappear.
This seems to be a fun gimmick to highlight this issue for the documentary. However, the gimmick is muddled by a lack of structure. There doesn't seem to be too many rules for the chase. David is being deliberately naive. There is a bit of OMG shock going on. Some of it is truly eye-opening but sometimes he tries too hard. There are a lot of talking heads with opinions. There are a couple of passing stories with people who have identity issues. His uncovering of his private information is sometimes funny. The investigators don't have much charisma or great screen presence. This is a worthy subject if it's done right. This has some good bits but not much more.
