#Oscars
Only a few times do we ever come across a piece of art or film that just leaves us breathless. This was one of the films. A message that needs no spelling out and a story that is so real because it is so real.
The moment everything changed hit so hard. We're not going forward, we're moving backwards at this rate. This short is an absolute must with its phenomenal acting and message. I'm glad it won for it's recognition and to spread the message
So powerful. Thank you for speaking the truth. Thank you for your art. As you said and I agree, "We believe that the role of the story is to remind us there is no us and them. There’s just us.’- Riz Ahmed.
Brilliant film! Totally deserved the Oscar. A short film delivers such a powerful message in under 12 minutes that most feature films fail to do. This film is more relevant than ever.
freaking hell man. watched the first time u put it. watched it again after I heard it won the oscar… Every second of this deserved an oscar and I'm glad it won
What a gut-wrenching shortfilm that hits directly into the heart… Thank you for this, it shakes me and makes me silent, I have to let this go in – and make something with it. Which is good.
to feel seen, without knowing just how much you needed to feel this seen, is heartbreaking and heartwarming. all at once. I can't stop crying. thank you for this exquisite piece of art.
Wow! I think my heart just stopped! absolutely heart-wrenching but beautiful in the same moment. Riz never lets us down. I'm heartbroken that this is the reality of so many people live. I too pray on the daily the things will stop moving in this direction and start to turn around sooner than later. Love to you Riz and love to you all ❤️❤️❤️
Well done on the Oscar. Aneil directed an advert I was in and he went straight to the top of the list of best directors I have worked with. He’s a great man. Well done to u both
This was powerful, Big Congrats
Does anyone know the camera platform they shot on?

Watched this a second time and can see why it won an Oscar. Here’s to many more, Riz is overdue an Oscar and we all know it.
