Hollywood heavyweights Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Riz Ahmed and Guillermo del Toro have added their names to a letter condemning the film industry’s silence on what it called “genocide” in Gaza, the organisers confirmed, AFP reports.

The petition, signed by more than 370 actors and filmmakers, also denounced Israel’s killing of Fatima Hassouna, the young Gaza photojournalist featured in the documentary ‘Put Your Soul in Your Hand and Walk’, which premiered at the Cannes film festival on Thursday.

‘Schindler’s List’ star Ralph Fiennes as well as Richard Gere, Mark Ruffalo, Guy Pearce, Susan Sarandon, Javier Bardem, and directors David Cronenberg, Pedro Almodovar, Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Leigh said they were “ashamed” of their industry’s failure to speak out about Israel’s siege of Gaza in the original letter.
