Hollywood’s celebrated actress Cate Blanchett was present at the premier of ‘The Apprentice’ at the Cannes Film Festival, where she made a small, but significant dedication to the Palestine solidarity movement. The actress bypassed censorship laws by lifting up her black gown which had a green underlining, which paired along with the red carpet, was a hidden reference to the Palestine flag.
This act has received praises on the internet.
