The award's namesake, Stanley Kramer was an independent producer and director known for being on the leading edge of many social issues with his famous "message films". He brought attention to topical social issues that most Hollywood studios avoided, such as racism, nuclear war, greed, creationism vs. evolution and the causes and effects of fascism. Director-Producer Steven Spielberg described Stanley Kramer as an "incredibly talented visionary, ... (and) one of our great filmmakers, not just for the art and passion he put on screen, but for the impact he has made on the conscience of the world." Source: Wikipedia
