Postcards from the 45% is a 2020 political documentary film produced and directed by David Wilson and distributed by the Eagle Broadcasting Network. The film was made by and stars Sierran voters from the 45% of the electorate who voted for Leave during the 2019 Sierran CAS membership on July 5. The film was released on July 8, 2020, on the one year anniversary of the referendum to, in the words of Wilson, "give the needed platform to an often maligned, ignored, and increasingly marginalized perspective in society". The film focuses on ten people who voted for Leave during the referendum, their reasons for their vote, their reactions to the referendum's results and the effects of the vote on their personal lives.
The film was prodyced by EBN Films and was released on the EBN's main channel where it garnered 3.2 million views, becoming one of the highest rated television documentaries aired on Sierran television and the most watched television film made by the EBN in its history. The film recieved mixed reception with the responses to the film depending on the perspective of the viewers with pro-Leave voters and Ameroskeptics praising the film for showing their perspective while pro-Remain and American unionists condemned the film and accused it of being a propaganda film for Sierrexit.
Production
The film was first announced on September 3, 2019, by Wilson of EBN Films where he stated that the company, with the backing of the EBN company, would start working on a documentary film focusing on supporters for Leave during the referendum with 2020 being the projected release date for the film. The same day of the film's announcement, a website was created for the film where Leave voters could apply in order to appear in the film where they would discuss their reasons for voting for Leave, experience voting, and any effects on their personal lives that occured from the election.
