Why does Britain need a Film Industry?

Britain needs a film industry for a number of reasons. For example, the most obvious reasons is that it creates thousands of jobs for British people. This includes:

• Actors/Actresses
• Directors
• Produces
• Camera Crew
• Builders
• Costume Designers
• Script Writers
• Marketers
• Hair dresses
• Make-up Artists

Without these type of job offerings, the employment rate would most likely double. Having British films made is also great for our tourist industry, as British films have a tendency to show of our true culture, instead of having the Americans perspective of England, which basically includes showing of the posh parts of London and having us speak in posh accents. However, British films such as "This Is England," actually show of our city and rural settings and what life was like for British, working class people. Where-as not many films actually show of our culture. Therefore, British films put our Country on the map.

We also gain Britain's political views, as if we simply just had American films being made, all we ever see is the Americans way of ruling this world, yet we never view the British government. Therefore, people all over the world will be more aware of how we rule this country and our political history. We also have a British film industry to show of our talents! Most people believe all the best Actors/Actresses/Directors are American, simply because that's all they see in films, yet in fact some of the most talented directors and Actors are British. However, if we don't have British films showing this then they would permanently stay hidden.
