A camera crew stood on a freeway overpass & picked a car license number at random. This documentary shows what they were able to learn in half a day by searching public records & spending $13: a dossier on two people they'd never met, containing the car owners' names, where they live, their business & its financial status, their religion, the husband's health problems, the names of their grandchildren, the basic floor plan of their home. Program examines rapid exchange of vast amounts of information made possible by computers & bought & sold without the subject's knowledge or permission.
