Postcards from the 48%

At a time when this country stands on the edge of a catastrophe this film is a superb record of the deceit, lies and duplicity that has led us to this position. It is extremely thought provoking, at times emotional but overall a necessary historical record of the looming disaster. It needs to be shown far and wide, particularly at film festivals in Europe and beyond. Well done to the makers of this excellent documentary.

We are truly a disunited kingdom now, labelled as either leaver or remainer and entrenched in our view of Brexit. It won't end well - no-one satisfied, the right wing press blaming the EU for the many problems ahead and politicians driven to the extremes. This film does an excellent job of reminding us how we got there - perhaps there will be a sequel? "48% - you were right all along"?

Postcards from the 48% is a shocking indictment of how democracy can be undermined by those seeking to destroy democracy for their own personal gain by lies, fraud and interference. This film should be mandatory viewing by all our fellow EU citizens to show them that a sizeable proportion of the population, predominantly the young and better educated, did not want to leave the EU and still do not want to leave the EU. This number is growing larger day by day, and is now the majority according to the most recent, reliable polls. But both the U.K. government and the official Opposition Party, are ignoring us. They refuse to reconsider and are denying us a second vote now that the facts are coming to light. This is NOT democracy

As another reviewer says this isn't the most fun you'll have at the cinema, but that isn't the point.

David Wilkinson spent months on the road speaking with various remain voters and hearing their concerns. Some of them add limited value (and I guess are probably there for name recognition), but others really know what they're talking about. I learned a lot.

I was lucky enough to attend a session with a Q&A with the director afterwards. If you have a chance go to those do so, they are fascinating, though I cannot really review the film based upon that.

I would heartily recommend seeing this film as it widens the ongoing debate on one hand and (because it was filmed over a period of time) shows the evolution of the debate. My one criticism is it could have charted the shifting positions better.

The final dedication is moving.

Whether you voted Remain on 23 June 2016, Leave and now have buyers remorse, or are just dismayed and concerned by the insane course the UK seems to have taken over the last two years and want it to step back from an imminent cliff edge... SEE THIS FILM! An informative, respectful portrayal of a tenacious group of people who became activists after th EU referendum, and refuse to be intimidated by the establishment media or online trolls. Many new and cogent arguments can be found in this film, which neither dumbs the issue down nor is bogged in the dry technical detail (customs etc). Timely and mandatory viewing, which has come along not a moment too soon.
