Skin

Skin (2019) is Guy Nattiv's short drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Twenty minutes that are hard to sit with quietly afterward.

A plain supermarket in a blue-collar town. A Black man smiles at a white ten-year-old across the checkout line — a gesture with nothing behind it but warmth. It's enough to tip two gangs into a merciless war. The reckoning arrives in a way you won't see coming, and it strikes at the softest spot of all.

Nattiv made a blunt parable about how hatred passes from adults to children, literally written onto the skin. The film took the Oscar for Best Live Action Short, and a year on it grew into a feature-length version. Jonathan Tucker and Jackson Robert Scott anchor the cast. Stream Skin (2019) online on iFILM if you're ready for something short and brutal that leaves a mark.
