00:01U.S. actress Susan Sarandon has said that her support for Palestine has led to her losing film
00:07roles in recent years. The veteran star of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Thelma and Louise
00:12was dropped by her talent agency UTA a few days after her speech at a pro-Palestine rally in
00:19November 2023, one month after the Hamas-led attack on Israel.
00:23I've still had movies taken away recently because there are agencies that are telling people
00:32not to hire me still. But that's the power structure. I think within the people, certainly
00:39internationally, I feel welcome.
00:44Speaking at the Venice Film Festival for her upcoming film The Echo Chamber, the 79-year-old
00:49thanked director Andrea Palauro for ignoring those who are opposed to her working in cinema.
