Award-winning REDt’BLUE has been screened in the House of Commons.

REDt’BLUE examines how, and why, the ex-mining town constituency of Mansfield swung from Labour to the Conservatives for the first time in the 2017 snap General Election, when Ben Bradley was elected.

The non-partisan documentary was written, directed and produced by Jay Martin, pictured with ben.

REDt’BLUE has won numerous awards and Jay is now setting up his own production company. Sharp Edge Productions, in Mansfield, whilst he seeks funding for his next film, which is a narrative short named After Dark. He has committed to making this film in Mansfield, as he did REDt’BLUE.

Ben invited MPs and their staff to the screening in Westminster, which took part in the Boothroyd Room in the House of Commons. Mr Martin also attended and presented the documentary to the packed crowd.

Ben said: “It was a real honour to share REDt’BLUE with colleagues and staffers in Westminster this week. I’m grateful to Jay for coming down to London to introduce the documentary and it’s fantastic that the event proved to be really popular. I’ve received positive feedback all week from people that attended!

“I’m delighted Mansfield’s political shift has been captured in such a creative and moving way. Massive well done to Jay and his team for what they’ve created, and thanks for letting me be a part of it!”

Jay added: “It was a real honour to be invited down to screen REDt’BLUE. It was always my intention to create a non-partisan documentary which was still engaging, and sometimes even emotional, and I’m so happy to see that we’ve achieved that.”

REDt’BLUE is available to watch on vimeo.
