This is a documentary about privacy, the privacy of an individual. I have built my own security device:
an ingenious construction that allows me to carry two cameras above my head. These days shops and
government offices feel the need to protect themselves with CCTV's. The PPSD documentary
shows us what happens when individuals feel the same need to protect themselves. After some
research I discovered that shops do not give you their video material when something has been
stolen from you in their shop. That means that if I want to be protected I will need to do so myself.

The camera's are positioned in such a way that only a small radius around me is filmed and thus
others are only on camera when they enter my "private space". In addition, I carry a sign on my
coat saying that I am filming for the safety of the people around me and myself, just as shops do.

What happens the moment two security systems try to secure one space? Do individuals have the
right to protect themselves?
