Filmmaker Judd Apatow has urged Americans to "stand up for what this country is truly about" as he lamented the "heinous" administration of President Donald Trump.
Judd Apatow has called for Americans to "make sacrifices" amid the turbulence in the country.
The 58-year-old director has hit out at President Donald Trump's "heinous" acts and urged the population to think "long-term" about the future of the nation.
Speaking to Variety at the Sundance Film Festival, Judd said: "I'm not sure I can solve all the problems of the world right now.
"But everybody has to get involved and wake up and look for ways to be positive and stand up for what this country is truly about. What's happening right now is completely heinous and goes against all the values of the country."
The Knocked Up filmmaker is referring to the fatal shooting of Renee Good by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis earlier this month, as well as the numerous ICE raids that are taking place across the nation.
Apatow said: "There is a weird, hypo-normalisation right now where it's like, 'Hey, we're going skiing today so I guess ICE isn't terrorising everybody.'
"People need to do something - what Americans don't do very often - which is think long-term, get involved and make sacrifices for the country."
