Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker George Clooney hit out at “authoritarians who peddle fear” as he gave a powerful speech receiving the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 83rd Venice Film Festival.
The Ocean’s Eleven actor, who has previously hit out at the kakistocracy, said movies “don't stop wars” or “fix elections” but they “remind us that a stranger is never a stranger, and that he might just be the hero in somebody else's story.”
