Curator’s note

The best short films about justice.

Justice is the gap between what is fair and what actually happens, and short films live in that gap. With the clock running, a good short forces the choice between law and conscience and makes you take a side. The films below are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories about setting things right.

Bad Apples follows a group of political radicals fighting police brutality in near-future NYC, and Damage Control watches the fallout when a beloved comedian is accused of sexual assault. Decksdark drops a solitary rebel into a dystopian surveillance state, while British Graffiti follows a bullied graduate plotting his revenge.

The best short films about justice refuse easy verdicts. Deserteurs forces two enemies to stay human in inhumane times, and Billie sits at a poker table where revenge is the only thing on the table. Chosen by our editors and streaming free in 190 countries, no account needed. Press play and weigh it up.
