Brexit: The Battle for Britain

On 23 June, Britain was hit by a political earthquake. Within hours of the EU referendum result, the prime minister had resigned, the pound was falling and Westminster was reeling. So how and why did this political revolution happen, and how does it stand to reshape Britain's politics?

In this film, the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg tells the inside story of how David Cameron's referendum plan backfired, and Vote Leave won. Talking to the politicians and the people who ran the campaigns, she finds out how a perfect storm brewed, which would not just end David Cameron's premiership, but reshape Britain's place in the world.
