CBDCs, Digital ID & Social Credit: The Global Push to Programmable Money

Are central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) the future of payments—or a programmable control grid? This documentary, directed by James Patrick, investigates the race to roll out CBDCs, digital IDs, and a tokenized economy managed by central banks, the BIS, and powerful private interests. From the Federal Reserve’s digital dollar experiments to China’s massive pilots, from Nigeria’s troubled eNaira launch to debates in the UK (“Britcoin”), we explore how “programmable money” could impact privacy, financial freedom, and civil liberties.

The film examines:

Why CBDCs require digital identity (often biometric) and how public-private partnerships plan to make IDs interoperable across borders.

The link between programmable payments, social credit-style enforcement, and real-time transaction censorship.

Case studies including the Canadian truckers’ account freezes and Nigeria’s cash restrictions.

How stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and ETFs could build a universal ledger that tracks identities, assets, and behavior.

The roles of the BIS, IMF, WEF, and Big Tech—plus debates around Bitcoin, Worldcoin, the Internet of Things/Bodies, and “15-minute city” policies.

Whether you see CBDCs as innovation or a threat to freedom, this film argues the stakes are historic: the end of cash, total financial surveillance, and programmable access to your own money. Watch, share, and decide for yourself.
