Synopsis
On or off. Yes or no. Leave or remain. Referendums divide and Brexit did so in a way never before in British history. Country versus city. Old versus young. Nationalists versus migrants. %E2%80%9CThe people%E2%80%9D versus %E2%80%9Cthe elite%E2%80%9D. The forgotten versus the visible. Underneath all these definitions are individuals with their own unique stories that motivated this historic and at times perplexing vote, a vote motivated by the themes of our age; migration, waning empires, and the white elephant in the room; work and it%E2%80%99s decreasing relevance in an ever automated world. Brexitannia is a portrait of a democracy in all it%E2%80%99s impossible ugly glory. A subtle bomb of a film that without judgment presents a people of the once most powerful empire negotiating their identities around a world that is changing faster than ever and power appearing further and further from their own hands.
