Who Paid for Brexit? investigates the unanswered questions surrounding Britain’s 2016 referendum on leaving the European Union — a vote that reshaped the country’s politics, strained its institutions and left deep divisions in public life.
The film examines whether the referendum was simply a democratic expression of the public will, or whether hidden money, political manipulation and possible foreign influence played a role in one of the most consequential decisions in modern British history. As the UK struggled to define the terms of its departure from the EU, the documentary follows the growing calls for scrutiny into how the Leave campaign was funded and whether the vote was truly free and fair.
Reported by veteran journalist Paul Lashmar, filmed and produced by Giovanni Ulleri, and post-produced by Eki Rrahmani, Who Paid for Brexit? is part political investigation and part portrait of a country unsettled by its own decision. It asks who really stood to benefit from Brexit — and whether the public was ever told the full story.
