In the lead up to the 2019 General Election Operation Black Vote (OBV) released this campaign that uses real quotes from politicians to urgently encourage Britain's disenfranchised youth, particularly Black and Minority Ethnic youth to register to vote.
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 work highlights some of the controversial words uttered by politicians, with quotes containing controversial views and statements from politicians which insensitively address issues of race, religion, women, sexuality and climate change.
These quotes are brought to life by actors in real life environments such as bars and restaurants, with the film capturing the stunned reactions of their friends. 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).
