The sad part is that people from our own profession take part in this censorship process \u2014 some very actively, others pathetically, by agreeing to have their cast lists changed for projects,\u201d Mari\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As he emphasized, \u201cthe earth has sworn to heaven that all secrets will be known.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNone of them will one day be able to say \u2014 I didn\u2019t know.
