Benedict Cumberbatch is the man behind Brexit in HBO film's trailer
HBO wants everyone to know how Brexit happened and they got Benedict Cumberbatch on board to show it.
With film Brexit, HBO is bringing to light one of the greatest con jobs in modern British political history. With its latest trailer, sporting the tagline "Everyone knows who won. Not everyone knows how," we get a sneak peak.
Based on a true story, Brexit features Benedict Cumberbatch as Dominic Cummings, a man in charge of the Leave campaign and also the man who played a pivotal role in the landslide decision of the British populace against the European Union by harnessing the power of social media and the rage of the ignorant.
With Brexit we get a clear view of how possible it is to "hack the political system" if you have the right approach and how fear mongering and propaganda is used in political movements to stack the odds in one's favour.
With Dominic, Cumberbatch is set to show how there are those who do it not for monetary gains but because they have the power to do so. All he wants is to "create the biggest political upset since the Berlin wall."
Brexit premieres January 19.
