Sacha Baron Cohen, the internationally renowned actor, comedian, screenwriter, director and producer whose films, television and sketches brilliantly use satire to expose racism, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism, will receive the Anti-Defamation League's International Leadership Award, which pays tribute “to those exceptional individuals whose vision, imagination and creativity have left an indelible mark upon the global community.”
The award will be presented on Thursday in New York City at ADL’s Never is Now summit on anti-Semitism and hate, a one-day conference focused on understanding contemporary drivers and dynamics of anti-Semitism.
