You Are Being Watched (Part 3)
CCTV: YOU ARE BEING WATCHED is a “behind-the-camera” look at a British phenomenon with global implications.
Closed Circuit Television came to Britain in 1967, when a small tea house in Victoria introduced a basic black and white camera to see if patrons were taking too many tea cakes. From those humble beginnings, an entire high-tech industry has arisen! Today surveillance technology is so sophisticated it can be and is placed almost anywhere. Britain now has four million surveillance cameras deployed and by 2012 is expected to have eight million.

With an estimated four million surveillance cameras, Britain is by far the most-watched nation on earth. How could this come about in George Orwell’s mother country? Why haven’t other nations copied the schemes if they really are as successful as the Home Office and the police are saying? Is there a real effect in crime reduction or has CCTV only been introduced for the people’s ‘peace of mind’? Are there any vested interests in the proliferation of CCTV?
Trying to answer questions like these, the investigative documentary “EVERY STEP YOU TAKE” digs deep into an entirely British phenomenon: nation-wide video surveillance. It features formal interviews with police chiefs, CCTV managers as well as experts in the fields of surveillance research and data protection. Investigative research uncovers secrets that will make every responsible Briton worry.
