"Everyone knows who won. But not everyone knows how". The result of the Brexit referendum in the summer of 2016 caused a political earthquake that laid waste to the normally stable British establishment and sent political tremors across the world.

This punchy and provocative feature-length drama goes exclusively behind the scenes of the "Vote Leave" campaign, unpacking the personalities, strategies, and feuds of the winning side, and exploring the new world of data-driven campaign tactics. 'Brexit: The Uncivil War' is not an analysis of who was right and who was wrong. It is the story of how it happened, and why - on the high street, in the campaign offices, and the darker corners of the internet. A drama of political ambition and personal betrayals with nation-changing results.
