First They Killed My Father, a historical drama about Cambodia's genocide based on the book written by survivor Loung Ung. Cambodian filmmaker Rithy Pahn is acting as a producer and says Angelina is highly respected by the people of Cambodia; he suggests she was Cambodian in a past life.
-Angelina says growing up in Los Angeles was empty and that her first trip to Cambodia changed & humbled her, saying there was "so much about history that I had not been taught in school." She says stepping around landmines during the Tomb Raider shoot brought to her attention how little she knew and inspired her to contact the UNHCR, where she served as a special ambassador from 2001 until being named a "Special Envoy" in 2012.
