Imagine winning an Oscar for a documentary as brave as ‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin,’ only to have the TSA snatch it away at JFK and then lose it! This is exactly what happened to Pavel Talankin. He’s flying home with the highest honor in film, and airport security decides the gold statue is a security risk? Now it’s just ‘missing.’ David Borenstein is out here pleading for help on social media because the system failed. It’s absolutely ridiculous that a piece of cinematic history can just vanish into thin air after being ‘confiscated.’ Is it theft? Incompetence? Either way, it’s a slap in the face to independent filmmakers everywhere who put everything on the line. We need to find that Oscar and hold the TSA accountable for this mess. How does a literal Academy Award go missing in a secure facility? Total nightmare scenario for any artist. #culture #film #justice https://thoxt.com/l/A28v0y 🔗
