"I'm terrified and it's mortifying. What's happening is no less than a genocide, and it's unacceptable. I'm terrified for my children, for all of our children," the Oscar winner told a press conference in answer to a question from the assembled media while in Spain to tout her latest film, Die, My Love. Lawrence also took aim at divisions among Americans over politics that risked alienation among young people. "On top of everything else, what makes me so sad is that this disrespect and the discourse in American politics right now is going to be normal to them. I mean, the kids who are voting right now at 18, it's going to be totally normal to them that politics has no integrity. Politicians lie; there is no empathy," she argued.

"Everybody needs to remember that when you ignore what's happening on one side of the world, it won't be long until it's on your side as well," Lawrence added from the film festival podium. In Die, My Love, Lynn Ramsay's latest movie that bowed in Cannes, Lawrence plays a woman in the wide-open spaces of rural America seeing the obligations of marriage, motherhood and domesticity close in on her and undercut her sanity. The pic also stars Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte and LaKeith Stanfield.
