Controversy
In January 2019, it was nominated for the Best Live Action Short Film at the 91st Academy Awards.[4] Denise Fergus, the mother of James Bulger, stated that she was "disgusted and upset" by the film and its subsequent nomination because the film was made without contacting her family. She had previously circulated a petition to have it removed from Oscar consideration, which drew more than 227,000 signatures by 29 January 2018, and wrote to the film's director Vincent Lambe to withdraw it from the Oscars.[5] Lambe said that he would not be doing so, saying "It's like saying we should burn every copy of it. I think it would defeat the purpose of making the film".[6]
