Watu Wote: All of us, which was part-funded by Christian humanitarian charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) via the production company Catholic Radio and Television Network (CRTN), has been short-listed for the Best Short Film (Live Action).
The film is based on tragic events in north-east Kenya in December 2015 and tells the story of how armed Al-Shabab militants stormed a bus and demanded the Muslims identify Christians on board.
When the Muslims refused to comply, the jihadists opened fire, killing at least one Muslim on the bus. Another Muslim who was injured during the attack died later.
The Muslims on the bus that day were determined to avoid a repeat of a similar incident in November 2014 when Al-Shabab killed 28 Christians on board a bus having separated them from Muslim passengers.
The incident took place near the border with Somalia which remains a stronghold of Al-Shabab, a terror group closely allied with Al-Qaeda.
Tobias Rosen, producer of Watu Wote: All of us, thanked ACN and CTRN for their support.
He said: “Aid to the Church in Need made this dream possible. ACN did a great deal to support me and was a real blessing for this film… we had to struggle against so many difficulties, [we] would not have gotten far without its help.”
