Narrated by Gary Watson Brazil's north east has been described as the region of perpetual calamity. Almost continuous drought, and a history of famine dating back 200 years, have produced in the people a determination to survive - whatever the odds. Their extraordinary ingenuity led to a new phrase being adopted to describe their way of life - 'the technology of survival.' Written and produced by BOB SAUNDERS

'Kimball's story reminds us that unless we control the file keepers the file keepers will control us.' (ARTHUR MILLER) Penn Kimball , a respected journalist and teacher, discovered that the FBI and CIA had declared him a dangerous national security risk. This film is Kimball's chilling investigation into the inner workings of government agencies who compile files on ordinary citizens and an account of his ten-year battle to clear his name.
As he tracks down colleagues who had spoken against him, Kimball uncovers an amazing story of special agents, foreign spies and hearsay allegations which make up the secret file which followed him all his life. At a time when there is widespread debate about access to personal files in Britain this story shows what is at stake. A tale by Kafka? No, the true story of what happened to an American: a man who discovered that he had another life in official files, a false life that did him immeasurable harm.
