Susan Sarandon denounced during the Venice Film Festival that she continues to be boycotted in Hollywood due to her criticism of Israel. The Oscar-winning actress attended the presentation of the film "The Echo Chamber" at the Italian festival.
Sarandon has been a vocal critic of Israel, particularly since the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023. Her political stance has led to her being ostracized in the North American film industry.
The 78-year-old actress used the occasion at the festival to speak about the situation in Gaza, condemning what she described as a genocide in the region. Sarandon stated that her career in Hollywood was affected by her political views.
Sarandon's presence at the Venice Film Festival marks one of her rare public appearances at major international film events, contrasting with her apparent exclusion from the Hollywood industry.
