The best short films about redemption and forgiveness, free to watch.

Redemption is the hardest turn to earn, and short films have no room to fake it, so the ones that land really land. One reckoning, one apology, one chance to be better than before. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories about making peace, or trying to.

Just Another Day watches Rui, trying to outrun his grief, forced to face the one thing he can't escape, and Darlings follows an estranged son returning to see his dying grandmother. A Moral Man turns a controversial spotlight on assisted suicide, while Embers sits with a woman waiting for a date who is not as expected.

The best short films about redemption and forgiveness know it is never simple. Fin follows a grieving boy struggling to move forward without his best friend, and Hymn of Hate sets Russell Tovey (Being Human) & Thomas Turgoose (This Is England) in a WW1 short. Chosen by our editors, free across all 193 countries, no subscription and no sign-up. Press play, and let it in.
