A feature-length documentary to show why Britain should vote to LEAVE the EU - and would thrive outside of it. 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?

Cada vez más abundantes y más baratos, los alimentos industriales han invadido nuestros platos. ¿A qué precio? Obesidad, diabetes… Muchas enfermedades son provocadas o agravadas por la ingesta cotidiana de estos productos, de cuyos proceso de fabricación y naturaleza los consumidores saben poco: las etiquetas nunca han sido tan difíciles de descifrar. La industria agroalimentaria se enriquece con alimentos ultraprocesados de bajo coste y despliega sus tecnologías y mercadotecnia para ocultar la verdadera naturaleza de sus creaciones. Con la ayuda de expertos, nutricionistas y un laboratorio de alimentos especializado en investigación y desarrollo, desvelamos los secretos del sector agroalimentario.
Una tragedia tiene lugar a puerta cerrada. El tema es universal: una historia de personas atrapadas en una red de poder inhumana. Se suceden las reuniones del Eurogrupo, que imponen a Grecia la dictadura de la austeridad y que ignoran cualquier signo de humanidad y compasión. Una trampa claustrofóbica que no tiene salida y que ejerce presiones en los protagonistas y, finalmente, los divide. Una tragedia en el sentido de la Grecia clásica: los personajes no son buenos ni malos, pero que se ven arrastrados por las consecuencias de lo que ellos perciben que es lo correcto. Esta es una tragedia de plena actualidad.
Veinticinco cineastas, uno por cada estado de la Unión Europea, realizaron una película sobre sus respectivos países. Todas tenían el mismo presupuesto, debían estar ambientadas en el presente o en un futuro inmediato y durar cinco minutos. No había otras limitaciones, de modo que los autores tenían plena libertad para expresarse. Entre los directores figuran tanto nombres consagrados como voces nuevas dentro del panorama cinematográfico. Cada corto tiene su propia identidad, por lo que es posible establecer comparaciones fascinantes; pero, además, juntos ofrecen una imagen global de la Comunidad Europea a través de la fusión de esas distintas visiones conceptuales y creativas.
Día 1 de enero de 1993: fecha de la creación de la Eurozona.

It’s the last dictatorship of Europe, caught in a Soviet time-warp, where the secret police is still called the KGB and the president rules by fear. Disappearances, political assassinations, waves of repression and mass arrests are all regular occurances. But while half of Belarus moves closer to Russia, the other half is trying to resist…

Europe, the rule of law and host countries? Look elsewhere denounces what is happening in many European cities by taking the example of Calais. From the expulsion from the "jungle" in October 2016 to the situation there a year later, Arthur shared moments of life with men and women of Sudanese, Afghan, Ethiopian, Eritrean and local descent of Calais. By highlighting the gap between the field and the official speeches, this film shows us the strategy put in place to dissuade the exiles from staying. With original filming methods and his civic gaze, the director has managed to film the state harassment, the media staging, but also the strength and humor of the exiles.
One inside, one outside. One thin line that creates “us” and “them”. The importance of the borders has again a huge impact in Europe. Yesterday it was all about free movement. Today it´s about controled borders. And walls and fences have become normality. “Before our eyes” is a testimony that shows a situation where Hungary, and indirectly Europe closes itself to the outside world. The film portrays four places, four events, which was filmed over three days in early September 2015, when the worst refugee crisis we have seen since the Second World War started in earnest. “My Europe does not build walls!” said Stefan Löfven, the swedish prime minister, in a speech a few days later. Before our eyes shows how words and actions are no longer connected. Today, Spain, Greece, Bulgaria, the UK, Hungary, Slovenia and Austria have built fences and walls to strengthen theirs and Europe’s external borders.
'History is always made in the middle of the night. And when it happens, you are so damned tired, that you couldn't care less,' says Robert Cooper, an EU peace negotiator whose job it is to get Serbia and Kosovo to reach an agreement about peaceful coexistence. National pride and compromise are on everyone's lips, and much is at stake: Kosovo wants to come closer to independence, the Serbs have been promised EU membership if they can reach an agreement, and the EU tries to strengthen its credibility. But how far is each party willing to go? It is the unique characters that make this fascinating film about a delicate political game so vivid and loveable. The stoic, Serbian negotiator has a great passion for rock music, his colleague from Kosovo does not want to miss out on his daily visit to the hairdresser, and Cooper himself has a closet full of ties - one for every conceivable occasion.
