EXCLUSIVE: The Grierson Trust is ready to withdraw Asif Kapadia’s patronage just two days after awarding the honor following a backlash over the Senna director’s social media posts about the Israel-Gaza conflict.

UK filmmaker Asif Kapadia has “unequivocally” apologised for social media reposts about the Israel-Gaza conflict that caused documentary charity The Grierson Trust to withdraw his patronage.

Whilst we accept that everyone has a legitimate right to express their views on controversial issues, this cannot justify racist statements,’ said the trust.
