On the 23rd of June 2016 Britain voted to leave the European Union. Who Are We? is a re-working of material from a BBC television debate transmitted a few weeks earlier.âThe most provocative of the bunch is John Smithâs Who Are We?. Leading up to the Brexit vote, BBCâs Question Time became ever more vicious and confrontational. Who Are We? is a manipulation of one of those broadcasts, with David Dimbleby prompting âyou, sir, up there on the far rightâ repeatedly.âGet our identity back â vote leave!â one audience member shouts, while another declares himself a veteran, followed by a swift manipulated cut to rapturous applause. Itâs a heavily edited and remixed edition of Question Time, but by highlighting those in the audience with attitudes ranging from nationalistic to xenophobic, Smithâs short film shows the now normalised extremism within our society and our political discourse.â Scott Wilson, Common Space magazine, April 2017

And isn't the camera operator more prone to film the cornet wimples of visiting nuns than the fossilized remains of Napoleon's fallen grandeur...?
