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.

Look who's fundraising on our behalf!

Best wishes and best of luck for this important project

John | £104.12

Absolutely needed. Don't see how you can do it for only 50k but wish you lots of luck doing so.

Paula

Good luck. An important contribution to the discussion about Brexit and its consequences when mainstream broadcasters are too frightened to cover it properly. So called public broadcasters are complicit in the damage done to our nation by their silence. How can a Liberal democracy function if vital information is not shared with its citizens?

I wish I could give you more. We have to fight back whatever way we can. Do not let the b@stards win!

I am (was) a small engineering firm providing services directly to EU firms, Brexit destroyed my business.

Ian Murdock | £26.41

We moved to live in the EU because we knew the effect of Brexit would be negative. We grew up as Europeans in a Union that gave us safety and security and now we still have that but without our closest friends with us. We feel their pain and we want to make a small donation because everyone needs to understand the reality and impact of what has happened to a country that once was held in high esteem for its balanced views and sense of fair play. The newspapers are too scared, the BBC, ITV and national broadcasters won't air the facts so we need this documentary made, so for once the people of the UK can make their minds up with facts.

We need this so that one day our children may understand where this generation of self-interested leaders went wrong and can put things right.

I hope this helps us all to learn how to make sure something like this never happens again. We need to be better at spotting and stopping political scams!

The only country in history to sanction itself.

Brexit is the worst political catastrophe of our generation, an act of monumental self-harm. I hope this documentary will expose the dark money that engineered it and the lies that convinced people it would be of benefit.

Brexit doesn’t satisfy the Consumer Rights Act - not working as advertised

It's time the dots were joined and the truth was revealed.

Government and Parliament must acknowledge the Disaster that is Brexit and reverse the worst parts of it.

Andy Sanderson | £104.11

Many thanks to everyone on the team. This documentary badly needs to be made. Brexit and the Tories have driven me out of my own country, and their reversals would encourage me to return, one day.
