This Is Digital ID

An independent investigative documentary

This Is Digital ID is an in-production documentary examining the rapid rollout of Digital ID in the United Kingdom — who is driving it, what interests are shaping it, and what it could mean for society if it becomes embedded without meaningful public scrutiny.

Framed as an investigative exposé, the film goes beyond official narratives of “convenience” and “efficiency” to examine the deeper motivations behind Digital ID, including issues of control, consent, access to work and services, and the long-term implications for personal autonomy.

The documentary brings together:

• On-the-ground public opinion

• Interviews with politicians and policy insiders

• Conversations with political activists and researchers

• Analysis of legislation, infrastructure, and implementation timelines

The aim is not fear-mongering, nor blind opposition — but clarity. To make complex systems understandable. To ask questions that are not being asked loudly enough. And to give people the information they need while there is still space for debate, resistance, and choice.

Why This Film Matters

Digital ID is no longer a theoretical future. It is being introduced now — often quietly, incrementally, and without broad public discussion. Once embedded, systems of this scale are difficult, if not impossible, to reverse.

This Is Digital ID exists to bring transparency to a process that has largely unfolded out of public view.

Independent & Unfunded

This documentary is produced independently by Anomalous Media. There is no broadcaster backing, no corporate sponsorship, and no institutional influence over its editorial direction. That independence allows the film to ask uncomfortable questions and follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Despite significant production challenges — including a major digital attack that resulted in the loss of critical files and equipment — the project is moving forward and is scheduled for release later this year on streaming platforms.
