Champagne bottles were popped when it was announced Two Distant Strangers won an Academy Award. Get into Terrence J’s Oscar winning celebration inside…
It's an Oscar winning night for several executive producers, cast and crew.
Netflix’s Two Distant Strangers, which stars actor/rapper Joey Bada$$, won the Academy Award for Best Live-Action Short Film at the 93rd Academy Awards.
Joey Bada$$ stars as the lead star in the socially conscious film, directed by Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe. It’s about a young Black man who gets killed by a white police officer, but he wakes up every single day reliving the moment he was killed as he tries to make it out alive each time.
EMMY winner Travon Free – who wrote the film – addressed how police brutality and shootings is disproportionate to Black people.
"Today, the police will kill three people, and tomorrow, the police will kill three people, and they say after that, the police will kill three people," he began. "Because on average, the police in America kill three people, which amounts to about a thousand people a year.
"Those people happen to disproportionately be Black people,” he continued.
He included a James Baldwin quote, saying, "The most despicable thing a person can be is indifferent to other people’s pain.” He added, "I just ask that you, please, don’t be indifferent to our pain."
