The rest, seeing the reaction of the moguls, fear for their jobs, so that what happened to Melissa Barrera on Scream 7<\/a> doesn’t happen again<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Even Susan Sarandon, who has always been outspoken about her political views, continues to be rejected precisely because of them.<\/p>\n\n

From the river to the sea<\/h2>\n\n

You’d think a legend like Sarandon would be spending her golden years choosing her projects, but, all the same, she hasn’t worked on anything particularly high-profile since Blue Beetle.<\/p>\n\n

At 79 she deserves the respect of the whole industry, and not its contempt\u2026 although she knows that holding certain views puts her at risk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI’ve still been turned down for films recently because there are agencies that ask people not to hire me. But that’s how the power structure works. I feel welcome among ordinary people, and certainly internationally<\/strong>\u201c<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

Although she says something has changed in the way people talk and feel about Israel’s genocide in Palestine, because \u201cno one understood how much money the United States gives Israel\u201d<\/em>, it’s true that the industry keeps putting dissidents under the microscope\u2026 even if there are already so many of them that it’s impossible to stop them.<\/p>\n\n

In fact, she says that Andrea Pallaoro, the director of the film premiering in Venice, The Echo Chamber, was told not to hire her, but he did it anyway.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI’m grateful to him, because he doesn’t always heed warnings. There has been a change among the general public, but there are still people in positions of power in my industry who are Zionists and have never warmed to me<\/strong>. But I’ve found my family and my people and I’m fine\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n
