WHITE

A white man arrives at the Transition Centre after dying of food poisoning on a cruise, only to be told he can't be white in his next life. What follows is a ridiculous but sharp conversation about what it means to be white, and the privileges that come with it.

Written, directed and edited by David Moya, WHITE stars Toby Longworth, Jason Thorpe and Zephryn Taitte. Shot on the ARRI Alexa, it played more than 60 festivals worldwide and won 23 awards, including Best First Time Director at the Festival de Cine de Elche.

“A biting and brutally honest send-up of white privilege.” — Chris Olson, UK Film Review ★★★★
