Short films with the nerve to name the fight

Political short films feel like a hand on your collar. They take a side, raise the temperature, and dare you to look away from the part of the world you would rather not. The tone here is charged and unsparing, less interested in comfort than in confrontation, and the best of them leave you arguing with yourself on the walk home.

In Bad Apples, political radicals fight police brutality in a near-future New York, all friction and conviction. Kompromat turns the heat on a far-right politician under siege from the press, while 2099 lets five of the oldest citizens reckon with the century just ended. Flesh & Spirit asks what is owed to the black artists others have plundered. A small, sharp shelf of films that refuse to stay polite, free to stream with no subscription.
