Goal

UPDATE DEC 9: We blasted through our goal in two days and through our stretch goal of £90,000 in less than two weeks. Thank you! 


We're now in the process of making this documentary - booking and recording interviews, researching and collecting archive content. 


We don't want to miss anything, so if you have links to case studies, graphics, news or interview archive footage from the UK or Europe please share it with us at brexitdoc@byline.tv



Since its inception, Brexit has become one of the most critical and divisive issues in British politics. But how did it happen? And what is the real, substantive impact it's had on the UK?


That's what we want to examine in the most comprehensive documentary ever made about Brexit.

 
Byline TV has already travelled around the country reporting on the fallout from Brexit, and reached millions of viewers. Now we are going bigger, making the definitive record on Brexit - something that can be seen around the world and set the record straight. But we don’t have the money the BBC does or corporate donors, just you.


To make a comprehensive, unimpeachable, fifty minute, globally distributable documentary is expensive. We need around £50,000 to cover all the costs and you can read more about where that will go below. So please, help us make this vital, game changing documentary, and donate to the project.




We're looking to raise £50,000 to make a 50 minute documentary on Brexit, exploring the forces that made it happen, how it went wrong, the damage it's done and how we can come back from it.


Your donation will go towards equipment costs, travel for a crew around the UK and to Europe, research, location hire, video editing and motion graphics designers to make this the most comprehensive documentary on Brexit ever made.

Not only will all donors get to watch the finished documentary for free, but we're also offering the following perks depending on the amount donated.


£5: Your name in the credits

£100: An Associate Producer credit
£250: An Associate Producer credit, plus a virtual screening of the film with Mike and the team.
£500: An Executive Producer opening credit plus a private screening of the film
£1000: All of the above plus an intimate drinks reception with the team.

*Any repeat donations will be counted as one donation for the purpose of awarding perks. 


*BylineTV+ members will get access to the film included in their membership. Please donate today to receive donor perks.


You can also help us to achieve our goals!

Whenever I engaged with a Brexit supporter I would ask "how leaving the EU would directly benefit them?" I never got an answer. My hope is that the documentary educates both sides on why people voted the way they did and how a simple yes/no referendum led us to where we are today.

Best of luck everyone. You will teach the MSM a thing or two about fearless reporting, I just know it! Sorry it's only a tiny sum for now. Love from Chrissie

We badly need this film to be made, and I can't think of anyone better qualified than the Bylines people.

Happy to be interviewed. A married EU couple having lived in the UK for a combined nigh on half a century, having made it our home, having adopted two British children, only to be told that we'd be deported unless we filled in an 85 page long document, and to gain an "Unsettling status" which does not exist even on paper and means absolutely nothing.
