Image: ReutersAmerican actor Forest Whitaker will be honoured at the Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off on Tuesday evening, for his contributions to cinema as an actor, director and producer, and also his humanitarian work in several developing countries.

“It really changed my life, the trajectory of my career in some ways, because it allowed me to be seen as an artist and not just a player,” he said of the Cannes recognition. In 2012, Whitaker expanded his humanitarian work, founding the Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative Whitaker has also supported young filmmakers tackling social ills, such as Academy Award winner Chloe Zhang with her earlier film about native American Indians, “Songs My Brothers Taught Me” and Ryan Coogler with “Fruitvale Station”, about police brutality against Black men in California.
