The Brexit Scandal | Dark Money | Bought Brexit? | Documentary

The Brexit Scandal - What if Brexit was ultimately not about the “will of the people” at all, but about the interests of a small British elite? The Brexit Scandal (2021) Director: Tom Costello Genre: Documentary Country: Germany Language: English Also Known As: Power, Profit and Populism: The Battle for Hard Brexit Release Date: 2021 Germany (Raindance Film Festival) Synopsis: Brexit was presented as a populist revolution against the elite. But in the years since the referendum, a group of men deep in the heart of the British establishment have been carrying out a coup of a different kind – using Brexit to try and turn Britain into a low-tax, low regulation, high finance utopia. This revolution is funded by dark money – cash from unknown sources – which has been flooding into the British political system through mysterious front groups, opaque offshore firms, clandestine digital campaigns and corporate lobbyists in disguise. Today dark money and shadowy influence operations continue to push an agenda that is anything but popular, and is deeply undemocratic. In this film, we follow the dark money trails to find out: who are the men who bought Brexit, and what is their vision for Britain’s future? Reviews: “The ripples of Brexit continue to look more like giant waves. And yet for all the chatter that surrounds our separation from the European Union, do we understand how we ended up with this version of divorce? Power, Profit and Populism: The Battle For Hard Brexit is here with answers – they won’t be the ones you expect, nor will they come from the people you’d expect to give them. Presenting this most unpalatable of topics in a bite-sized, digestible format proves a winner for Tom Costello’s documentary; as does the calm, cool narration from Semira Zadeh. They balance out the rising rage you may feel as a group of avaricious larcenists manipulate poverty, patriotism and peace for their own ends. Coming from German documentary production firm A&O Buero, the outsider’s perspective is useful here; as are interviews, remarkably, from both sides of a most divided isle. This is a powerful, precise dissection of the methods used post-referendum to secure a particular type of Brexit; it’s also a stark warning against demagoguery and dislike of others who are simply different from us. Ultimately, this film offers its viewers the strength to continue the battle for fairness, openness and international co-operation.“ - written by “Pauline Rieux“ on Also Known As (AKA): (original title) Power, Profit and Populism: The Battle for Hard Brexit Germany Power, Profit and Populism: The Battle for Hard Brexit Sweden En hård brexit - elitens projekt SUPPORT US! ✘ Membership - MORE DOCS! ► Gold: ► World Economy: ► All Playlists: #finance #documentaries #economy COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
