This live-action short film is well-deserving of its Oscar win. The Long Goodbye was co-written and starred in by Riz Ahmed. In the film, a South-Asian family living in suburban London are making preparations for a celebration when they are interrupted by a disturbance and a knock at the door…
In his acceptance speech, Ahmed said, “In such divided times, we believe that the role of story is to remind us there is no ‘us’ and ‘them’. There’s just ‘us'”.
If you have a spare ten minutes, this award-winning short film is highly recommended.
