Film Director Steven Spielberg has been awarded with an honour for his artistic and humanitarian work.

The 62-year-old Oscar winner received the Liberty Medal from former US president Bill Clinton at a ceremony at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

Spielberg was commended for “inspiring millions to better understand the abiding call of liberty”.

Clinton said: “We honour a man today who has always been able to make a simple story and make it scary, make a simple story and make it interesting, and make a simple story and remind us of the greatness in us all.”

Spielberg will receive a cash prize of US$100,000 from the Liberty Medal, but will donate it to foundation, the National Constitution Center claimed.

Other stars that have previously received the award include U2’s Bono and Nelson Mandela.
