I heard about this on NPR the other day. This is all I know about it, but I want to see it.

Erasing David is a 2010 dramatized documentary (docufiction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docufiction)) film from the UK. Stating that as of today the UK is "one of the three most intrusive surveillance states in the world, after China and Russia", director and performer David Bond (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Bond&action=edit&redlink=1) tries to put the system to the test. After anonymously setting up private investigators to trace him, he tries to disappear. He fails in the end, ultimately being tracked down.

This guy wrote a piece for Wired about it. They put a $5k bounty on his head, and he details the steps he took to disappear, and how he got caught. Pretty interesting read.

IIRC he was tracked down by his cell phone and calling his wife when she was pregnant. I could be wrong but i have read something on him somewhere.

Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner

Just more proof that women make us weak and vulnerable.

Rule #1 of trying to disappear: No direct contact, no exceptions.

Neat concept for a film, though.

I watched the trailer, looks like it would definitely be worth watching.
