At the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), director and human rights activist Anand Patwardhan used the platform to call for an immediate ceasefire in war-torn regions such as Gaza and Ukraine. Patwardhan, who received the award for Best Editing at the festival, emphasized the urgent need for peace in these areas.

Addressing the misunderstanding surrounding the slogan ‘Palestine is free from the river to the sea,’ Patwardhan clarified that it should not be interpreted as a call for a one-state solution or the ethnic extermination of the Jews. Instead, he stressed the importance of creating a country where people of all religions can coexist peacefully with equal rights.

Furthermore, Patwardhan highlighted the detrimental impact of the global arms industry, stating that the world is enslaved by the profit-driven cycle of war and death. He called for the liberation of the world from this harmful system.

As the international community grapples with ongoing conflicts, Patwardhan’s impassioned plea for a ceasefire serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of striving for peace in the face of adversity.
