'Fake Views’ aired on the 21st November 2019 and the film uses real quotes from politicians to urgently encourage Britain's disenfranchised youth, particularly Black and Minority Ethnic youth, to register to vote for the December 2019 election.

The hard-hitting awareness campaign highlights some of the controversial words uttered by politicians. The campaign drives home the notion that politicians represent those who vote for them and encourages BAME and minority communities to vote so they are fairly represented in Parliament.

The forthcoming election was widely seen as one of the most important political events in generations. The campaign’s central message is that if BAME communities and young people in general do not register to vote, others with often controversial views will speak for them.

The quotes contain controversial views and statements from politicians which insensitively address issues of race, religion, gender, sexuality and climate change.

These quotes are brought to life by actors in real life environments such as bars and restaurants, with the stunned reactions of their friends captured on camera. Actors include Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones, Fast & Furious), Nadia Rose (British hip-hop artist), Ash Sarkar (Journalist, Political activist), Jermain Jackman (Singer - The Voice UK) and Will Poulter (The Revenant, Detroit, Black Mirror, Midsommar).

The film's closing caption reads: “These are real quotes from UK politicians. When you don’t vote, other people speak for you.”
