This week, the "Exemplary Conscience Act of the Week" was chosen as the "Exemplary Conscience Act of the Week" by the famous Argentine actor and director Norman Briski for his courageous words regarding Gaza. Briski, who is of Jewish origin, strongly emphasized the situation in Gaza in his speech at the Martin Fierro Film Awards , drawing attention to the tragedy that the Palestinian people are experiencing in the face of Israeli attacks.
In his speech, Briski made the following statements:
"Gaza, Gaza, Gaza. Gaza will never be defeated. It doesn't matter if you applaud me a little or a lot, but I feel it in my blood. I am defending a people who are being killed. Gaza."
Briski’s heartfelt and emotional speech resonated not only at the awards ceremony but also around the world. The fact that she uses her platform as an artist to advocate for the rights of oppressed peoples and to raise the voice of justice was greatly appreciated by the volunteers of the Conscience Foundation.
