Joaquin Phoenix Speaks Out on G@za and Joins Thousands of Film Professionals in Supporting a Boycott Pledge
Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix has publicly spoken about the humanitarian situation in G@za and later became a signatory of the Film Workers for P@lest!ne pledge.
In July 2025, during an appearance on “This Past Weekend with Theo Von,” Phoenix described the situation in G@za as “absolutely fu***ng horrible” and said there was “no justification” for children starving amid conflict. He emphasized that people can recognize basic human-rights concerns without understanding every aspect of the geopolitics involved.
In September 2025, Phoenix joined thousands of film-industry professionals who signed the Film Workers for P@lest!ne pledge. The initiative calls on filmmakers, actors and other industry workers to refuse to work with Isr@eli film institutions that the signatories say are complicit in what the pledge describes as genocide and apartheid against Palestinians.
Phoenix joined other prominent figures, including Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo, among the signatories. Contemporary reports recorded more than 4,000 signatories in September 2025, while the campaign’s website now states that more than 8,000 filmmakers and cinema workers have endorsed the pledge.
