Should Britain stay in or exit the European Union?

 

On June 23, 2016, voters can voice which side of the issue they fall on when they take part in a public referendum. In the lead-up to this crucial vote, the new feature-length documentary titled Brexit: The Movie poses an emphatic and persuasive argument for leaving the EU.

A collaboration between 28 European countries, the EU began in the aftermath of World War II.

 

Back then, it was largely viewed as a noble endeavor designed to enhance economic stability and peaceful interests across the continent.

 

But increasing opposition contends that the EU has become nothing but a corrupt and all-powerful political tool which effectively works against the will of the very people it should serve.

 

In their view, the EU proposes and passes new laws and regulations which negatively impact ordinary citizens while benefiting the bureaucrats and select few corporations who remain beyond reproach.

The film explores the formation and make-up of the EU, the lack of transparency and accountability in their operations, the plight of industries and individuals who have struggled under their rule, and warns of their capacity for creating economic calamity, inefficient living conditions, and barriers to advantageous trade deals with other regions throughout the globe.

What would a move away from the EU mean for Britain? The film travels to Switzerland, a country that has steadfastly refused to join the EU, to find the answer.

 

What the filmmakers discover is a country steeped in growing wealth, decreasing unemployment, and a quality of life many steps improved from their neighboring countries. The Swiss believe that their good fortunes are almost entirely a by-product of abstaining from the EU.

Brexit recognizes the EU referendum as one of the most consequential votes the citizens of Britain are likely to cast in their lifetime. After all, it's been more than 40 years since the fate of the organization was in the hands of the citizens.

 

According to the film and its many interview subjects, the first and most egregious casualty of continued EU reign is democracy itself.

BREXIT THE MOVIE

is a feature-length documentary film

to inspire as many people as possible

to vote to LEAVE the EU in the June 23rd referendum.

BREXIT THE MOVIE

spells out the danger of staying part of the EU.

Is it safe to give a remote government

beyond our control the power to make laws?

Is it safe to tie ourselves to countries

which are close to financial ruin,

drifting towards scary political extremism,

and suffering long-term,

self-inflicted economic decline?

BREXIT THE MOVIE

shows a side of the EU they don't want us to see:

the sprawling self-serving bureaucracy,

the political cynicism, the lack of accountability,

the perks, the waste, the cronyism,

the corruption.

BREXIT THE MOVIE

cuts through the patronizing intellectualism

of the noble, higher goals of 'Project Europe',

to reveal the self-interestedness of the political-bureaucratic class

which runs and benefits from the EU.

BREXIT THE MOVIE

highlights the danger of becoming a prisoner

in an insular, backward-looking Fortress Europe.

And it explores the exciting opportunities

that open up to us when we look beyond

the narrow confines of the EU.

BREXIT THE MOVIE

looks to the future, arguing forcefully and persuasively

that it is safer and wiser to live in a country

which is free, independent, self-governing,

confident and global.
