Oscar-winning Amy director Asif Kapadia sorry for ‘antisemitic’ posts

Asif Kapadia, the Oscar-winning director of the Amy Winehouse documentary Amy, has said he “unequivocally” apologizes for retweeting social media posts that he understands will be “seen by many as antisemitic.”

The Grierson Trust is deeply committed to promoting both freedom of speech and diversity and inclusion in the documentary industry.

Kapadia had been appointed patron of The Grierson Trust on Wednesday, October 9, but the charity moved swiftly to remove him from the position.
