Thanks to funding provided by a court approved Cy Pres Award from the iPod Nano Class Action Settlement, the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse (PRC) published a six-part series of short films that raise awareness about pressing privacy problems.

Directed and produced by Theo Davies, the films provide interesting character-driven storylines that draw attention to a privacy problem and then alert viewers to sources of information on our website, where viewers can learn more about the issue and their rights.

Identity thieves make a career seeking out discarded sensitive documents or digital devices loaded with personal data.
