A double challenge: filming a Brexit documentary during the pandemic
Nina Kojima speaks to us about making her Brexit Documentary during the Covid pandemic.
It’s been a year like no other. People have died, businesses have gone bust, kids have been off school – the world has turned into the kind of drama only the creators of the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Contagion’ could have predicted.
But another drama has continued alongside this – Brexit. It’s now almost become part of the British ‘brand’, alongside the royal family, fish and chips and The Beatles. (We seem to have forgotten the alternative term, Bremain…)
