Los Angeles -- The DGA issued the following statement regarding the horrific attack at the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, France:
"The Directors Guild of America stands in solidarity with the families of the victims, the people of France and citizens around the world who will not be cowed by extremists seeking to undermine our inalienable right to the free and open expression of ideas. This despicable act will not silence the millions of journalists, artists, and filmmakers who will continue to speak their mind, share their ideas and promote freedom of speech."
