Postcards from the 48%

This is an important film. It contains all the reasons for abandoning Brexit. Told with clarity and passion by individuals in all the devastated areas of Britain, it should be seen on television. As it is so comprehensive, it is possibly too long, but it is, nonetheless, full of wonderful material for any shorter docs or news magazine programmes to use - over and again. It should be made available to them and to all viewers, especially when the next referendum comes up.

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.

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"?

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.

Postcards from the 48% serves as an excellent summary of what has happened since the EU referendum: so much has happened since June 2016 and it's good to be reminded. The film informs our fellow citizens in the other 27 European Union countries that a sizeable number of us did not want to leave, and still do not want to leave the EU. However, where we do go from here?
