On Saturday 6th March 2021, Jassa released a spoken word response piece to mark the anniversary of Riz Ahmed’s short film The Long Goodbye.
A year ago today, @rizwanahmed released his short film #TheLongGoodbye. I've finally found the words to explain how it made me feel.

This is quite extraordinary. Blistering stuff. What a talented young man that I'm proud to have shared a credit with in Unforgotten and even prouder to be called his friend. https://t.co/JOE3MMoxn3

Jassa, Riz: I said this four years ago, that the time would come when we were forced to take sides. I am on yours. https://t.co/1L0SB62YCu
Such honest words, such heartfelt acting. ‘A country cannot be free when virtue is far right.’ https://t.co/mE2wefRI6A
