The 2018 Ecumenical Jury awards its Prize to Capharnaüm by Nadine Labaki with special mention to Spike Lee's Blackkklansman

Throughout the Competition, it is women and children, the immigrants and outcasts, who have shown by their perseverance and ingenuity, love and courage, the full possibility of the human spirit. 
Zain, a 12 year old boy is suing his parents for giving him life. Holding nothing back, the director meets the extreme plight of children with fearless humanity.

The Jury commends BlacKkKlansman, a wake-up call about continuing racism not only in the USA, but for the wider world. Told through humour and horror, this film condemns the misappropriation of religion in the cause of hatred.
