The 85-year-old American actor took centre stage with a message of unity and togetherness.
As all eyes turned to Qatar for the opening ceremonies of this year’son Sunday, veteran American actor Morgan Freeman took centre stage with a message of unity and togetherness.
“I heard something beautiful. Not just music, but also this call to celebration,” Freeman intoned while walking toward a man without legs in the middle of the stage. The two men proceeded to crouch on the floor and engage in a performative but poignant conversation, in which the “Shawshank Redemption” icon lamented the state of the world being divided and distant. In the end, both men agree that “what unites us here, in this moment, is so much greater than what divides us.”
