Duahli Say Kautau 3:01

It is the first major studio to address the latest boycott intended to stop what the UN says. Has repeatedly said is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Paramount said silencing individual creative artists based on their nationality does not promote better understanding or advance the cause of peace. We need more engagement and communication, not less.
