“This award is given to Mr. Weinstein for his body of work depicting WWII and the Holocaust in multiple award-winning films such as Life Is Beautiful, The Reader, and Inglorious Basterds. Among filmmakers, it stands alone as a remarkable achievement. In an age where we are witnessing books being burned and films being banned, it is important to honor individuals such Harvey Weinstein, who continue to tell the story of the darkest days of human history, while enriching our lives,” said SMP founder, television director and CNN Hero, Zane Buzby.
