I saw the screening of this documentary in Chester and found it quite remarkable. I was surprised to read a review by someone called Janhanlon that gave it one star. He refers to the director as patronising towards leavers in Stoke. I find this a surprising statement, as surely it's the elite brexiters who've been patronising, promising working people they'd be better off outside the EU - when in fact that was a blatant lie - and now they are suffering the consequences. Surely it's a film-maker's job to point out the irony - in a city voting to leave a club that actually makes them better off. The old adage turkeys voting for Christmas springs to mind. The whole point of this documentary is to record how the brexit tragedy has unfolded, and give a voice to those who tried to stop it as part of the Remain movement. As an Our Future Our Choice t-shirt says, 'Those who have to live with brexit don't want to.' These are real people in the film who have been campaigning tirelessly to save this country from economic and social suicide. This insightful film will stand as a testimony of a country's unfolding madness, this monument of stupidity called brexit - and the voice of reason trying to make us see sense. It's also worth noting that no one else has made a documentary on this subject - no director wanted to touch it, fearing the repercussions and unable to get mainstream funding. I commend Mr Wilkinson for his bravery in the face of such McCarthy style hysteria for the 'will of the people' - in a referendum based on lies, deception and cheating on an epic scale. Thank you for your courage and truth. Future generations will thank you for recording what happened, when big directors stayed silent. The Remain movement made this film possible, mainly working for free and providing first hand knowledge. Now this grassroots movement is taking on the brexit establishment, and they won't stop until there is a People's Vote and brexit is defeated.

An impressive and necessary antidote to the chaotic Brexit process and the noise from the Brexiteers.It demonstrates very clearly why we need a vote on the outcome of the negotiations including the option of staying in the EU.Very impressive contributions from people based in all parts of the UK explaining the benefits they have gained from EU membership and their fears about the impact of Brexit. It should be shown on prime time television to represent the viewpoint of the increasing number of people who think that Brexit is a huge mistake which will affect us for generations to come. I found the content emotionally moving in places.

This is incredibly slow and at times a self indulgent film. There is very little of anything that has not been said numerous times since the referendum result. He only briefly looks at some of the major reasons why some people voted to leave when wandering round what appeared to be a deprived area in Stoke-on-Trent. Unfortunately he just ended up patronising the residents saying they voted leave and how this was ironic as they would only be saved by EU money. Contributions from Nick Clegg and Vince Cable was probably a mistake as they are both felt to be untrustworthy politicians by many. I also stayed for the Q and A with Mr Wilkinson where he just continually name dropped and criticised the grammar in emails he had received criticising his work. I definitely felt I had wasted 2 hours
