Jane Fonda showed just how committed she is to protesting climate change on Friday when she accepted a prestigious award whilst she was being arrested at a demonstration on Capitol Hill.
Fonda was due to receive the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for excellence in film from BAFTA Los Angeles, the US-based arm of the British Academy Of Film And Television Arts. But she couldn’t attend the ceremony because of the protest so she sent a video message instead.
“BAFTA thank you,” she shouted above the din of the protest, as the Capitol Police slapped cuffs on her. “Thank you for the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award For Excellence In Film. Thank you! I’m sorry I’m not there. I’m very honored.”
