The Oscar award program 2019 had hardly begun when Israel took one home. Guy Nattiv and his team accepted the award for Best Live Action Short Film for their movie, Skin. The film examines race by showing a white racist dad getting angry about his son being treated warmly by a black man.

Nattiv told the audience and viewers on national television that his grandparents are Holocaust survivors. “The bigotry they experienced in the Holocaust, we see that everywhere today.” He said he hopes the film can show people how to teach their children “a better way.”
