Black Bodies is a 2020 Canadian short film, directed by
Kelly Fyffe-Marshall, and produced by Tamar Bird and
Sasha Leigh Henry.[1] Inspired by a real-life incident when Fyffe-Marshall, Komi Olaf and Donisha Prendergast were travelling in
California, and a woman in the neighbourhood called the police on them because she wrongly believed they were burglarizing their
Airbnb rental, the film features Olaf and Prendergast performing
spoken word pieces about the trauma of being victimized by anti-Black
racism.[2]
1 These two films were given honorable mentions rather than officially winning the award, but are included here as no other winner was named above them.
