World War II Letters: Porcelain Unicorn: A Poignant 3-Minute Film about the War

This summer, the renowned director/producer Ridley Scott launched a global filmmaker competition dubbed “Tell It Your Way” following its Cannes Lions award-winning short-film project “Parallel Lines.” The entrants were given freedom of expression and could take up any theme they wanted; still there were two strict rules—there had to be the exact six-line dialogue as it was in the Parallel Lines films, plus the entries could last no longer than three minutes.

Here’s the prize-winning entry in the “Tell It Your Way” competition.


During WWII the world was already changing every moment.  This little film may be a reminder of why America and its allies were fighting so hard for that change.  It is brief but powerful in its message of compassion.
