00:00It's a difficult answer to give because it resonates a thing all the time, you know.
00:15You know, I'm very, very, very impressed and touched by the mission of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity,
00:23what they do for, you know, to promote peace, value and also, you know, to organize things all over the world, you know, to do that.
00:31This is essential and vital. And we are very close and we worked, you know, on that edition.
00:37And for me, it's a real blessing, you know, because it's very rare to find people who actually, I can say that, you know,
00:48have a religion, they're practicing and they're putting, you know, the world into action, you know.
00:54And that's what this committee, the High Committee does, you know, like we do too.
00:59I'm the same, you know, I pray, I'm a Catholic, I pray every day, non-stop, because I love praying.
01:05And I'm a future deacon, that's my goal to be a deacon for the Catholic Church.
01:09And, you know, we reunite, you know, something today here and, you know, and we create an awareness, you know, on these topics to promote,
01:20to encourage people to unite and to be together. So for me, it's a general thing because everybody was amazing and touching by the stories,
01:30by the history and everything, you know. I believe that cinema and art has a responsibility.
01:37Making a film, it's a responsibility. Because, you know, you are financed by someone and you have all the rights and all the keys to, you know, to create something, a film.
01:51And a film is very important. And I feel, you know, there's too much violence in the films now.
01:57I won't say the channel, but so many channels, you know, you have only killing, lying, violence, and all the horrible things about the world.
02:08And it's actually the reflection of how the world is going today, you know, with all that kind of violence.
02:14So, I think, you know, women should have their own rights, should do whatever they want, you know.
02:20And I was very touched by the witness, you know, of this film director from Saudi.
02:26She said it right, you know, it's interesting. She said she's not doing films to be famous or whatever, but she's doing films, you know, to send a message to the world, to encourage, you know, all the value that we are sharing.
02:41So, yeah, I do believe in cinema and art as a real mission and responsibility. It's very important.
02:51That's why, you know, we reunite in Better World Fund with the partnership and especially the collaboration of IA committee.
02:59And we invite that kind of people to share symposium conferences and all of that.
03:07So, that way you can, we can proceed to move on, you know, and send a message to people, to encourage people to do good films, you know, with a beautiful message of peace, of kindness, you know, of value.
03:22Defending also certain, you know, history, countries, but to do something good for the world, you know.
03:28Defend your own personal.
03:30Defending yourself and what you have for the world, you know.
03:33No doubt, it was hard to bring to you.
03:35It's been possible, everybody.
03:37It's been easy to learn from you and the people that have screwed up.
03:40You know, nothing.
03:42I support people, everybody.
03:44I always trust men.
03:49You know, the whole system of men, especially women.
03:52I know the whole system, but they're fixated in other turnaround notes or schools, they kind of appropriate lists,
