Brandon Skyhorse paints a dystopian world forcing citizens to prove their identity according to a high-tech bracelet in "My Name Is Iris." Titular star Iris Prince is settling down after a divorce from her husband and a move to the suburbs with her daughter. One morning, she looks at her front yard, and a wall has appeared, followed by the announcement of a new trendy technology called "The Band," which will soon replace state-issued IDs. Iris finds herself unable to get a band because, as a second-generation Mexican, she cannot prove her family's citizenship. Lack of access sends Iris spiraling into a desperate chase to gain proof that she belongs, no matter the cost.
