Israeli director Guy Nattiv’s ‘Skin’ gets Oscar nod

Israeli filmmaker Guy Nattiv’s “Skin” was nominated Tuesday for an Oscar for best live action short film.

The movie, which Nattiv wrote and directed, is based on the story of Bryon Widner, a former skinhead who later renounced white supremacy and had his tattoos removed in a years-long process.

The film focuses on Widner’s decision to break with his skinhead colleagues after becoming involved with a woman who forbade her children from being around his peers.
