Not artisan, but a perfectly fine bagel. Hits the spot.
Summary
A new short film created by London studio Nice and Serious for the End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW) exposes how men's violence systematically limits women's freedom in everyday life. The film, launched for EVAW's 20th anniversary and designed for social media platforms like TikTok, uses a street interview format where a couple is asked what they want most in the world.
