For those who wanted to know why Brexit, the documentary opens up with the people. We get to hear from people who voted to remain or leave the European Union. The documentary reminds me of why the USA elected Trump that year. The disenfranchised Britons voted for Brexit without realizing what they were going to lose. I read about euro skepticism where the British politicians blamed Brussels long before for their problems at home. The documentary isn't shocking but realistic and relatable. The second half included world renowned linguistic professor Noam Chomsky and other experts. Sadly the documentary doesn't include the expert names. I would have liked something more in depth overall.
Plot summary
A sociological portrait of the United Kingdom after the historic Brexit vote of 2016. A funny, sometimes terrifying and non-judgemental look at the new populist politics sweeping western democracies.

For Those Who Wanted To Know Why Brexit Happened
Did a great job of making me laugh and despair all at once
A unique documentary with an interesting look at the social landscape. I liked the way it was filmed and the variety of views exposed by the free nature of the people talking.
Wasted Opportunity
What a shame! This is a genuinely a good idea for a film but its bias soon seeps through; better educated, liberals v less educated, working classes. There were no doubt a greater variety of social classes on both sides of Brexit that is presented. This is theatrically polarised. This was a good chance to present a real snap of history. But it feels the film maker may have selected his characters for the final cut based on his own subconscious bias. Pity, but worth a watch all the same.
