He’s right in a way. There’s only a certain amount of time and you want to be able to give the time to each person.“I love raising children. They make me feel good and I love being around and I love the ups and downs, and I love watching them grow and the things they say and teach," she added.

Angelina Jolie shared a preview on Thursday of her Netflix passion project First They Killed My Father.The 41-year-old Oscar-winning actress directed the film based on the 2000 memoir First They Killed My Father: A Daughter Of Cambodia Remembers by Jolie's friend and former refugee Loung Ung.The preview clip opened with a title card that read: 'Between 1975 - 1979 Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge killed nearly a quarter of Cambodia's population.'Two columns of armed troops were then shown marching down a city street.Jolie was seen on the set that employed hundreds of genocide survivors and children of survivors to recreate history for the film. 'It's the first time there's something on this size about this war in this country,' Jolie said.The clip showed Cambodians working on the set and tweaking props including barbed wire. I feel like nobody is here for themselves and everybody here to do any job is here to put something forward and help their country speak,' Jolie said.It was a theme echoed in the clip by producer Rithy Panh.'In order to mourn we must speak. It’s the possibility of using creation to reconstruct ourselves. Telling a story is also mourning, it’s also moving on,' Panh said. Jolie filmed her hit 2001 film Lara Craft: Tomb Raider in Cambodia and the humanitarian crisis she witnessed there sparked her work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.She has since visited refugee camps in Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Pakistan.
Jolie was named a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador in 2001. She adopted her first child Maddox in 2002 from an orphanage in Battambang, Cambodia.Jolie credited Maddox with convincing her to make the film after it languished for years.'He was the one who just called it and said he was ready and that he wanted to work on it, which he did. He read the script, helped with notes, and was in the production meetings,' Jolie recently told The Guardian. Jolie spoke out against US President Donald Trump's immigration ban on Thursday in an op-ed piece published in The New York Times.She urged the US to address the refugee crisis 'based on facts, not fear'.'Refugees are men, women and children caught in the fury of war, or the cross hairs of persecution. Far from being terrorists, they are often the victims of terrorism themselves,' she wrote.First They Killed My Father will premiere in Siem Reap, Cambodia on February 18.It will be released globally on Netflix later this year.

Angelina Jolie: Trump's refugee ban is 'playing with fire'

Angelina Jolie, a longtime advocate for refugees worldwide, has penned a pointed memo to President Donald Trump about his refugee ban."Acting out of fear is not our way. Targeting the weakest does not show strength," the mother of six wrote in an op-ed for the New York Times, proceeding to debunk Trump's border security rhetoric."It is simply not true that our borders are overrun or that refugees are admitted to the United States without close scrutiny," writes Jolie, who is the special envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. "And in fact only a minuscule fraction — less than 1 percent — of all refugees in the world are ever resettled in the United States or any other country. There are more than 65 million refugees and displaced people worldwide."Jolie's latest op-ed is a rare public statement from the actress since she began divorce proceedings from husband Brad Pitt last September, though last May she addressed Trump's "politics of fear" while abroad. Jolie's father, Jon Voight, was a vocal Trump supporter throughout his campaign.A definitive list of celebrity stances on Trump's controversial immigration order.In her essay, Jolie goes on to note that "refugees are in fact subject to the highest level of screening of any category of traveler to the United States. This includes months of interviews, and security checks carried out by the F.B.I., the National Counterterrorism Center, the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department."
She continues: "The truth is that even if the numbers of refugees we take in are small, and we do the bare minimum, we do it to uphold the United Nations conventions and standards we fought so hard to build after World War II, for the sake of our own security."By sending a message that it is acceptable to close the door to refugees, or to discriminate on the basis of religion, she argues, "we are playing with fire," she says, risking "a free-for-all in which even more refugees are denied a home, guaranteeing more instability, hatred and violence."Jolie also strikes down the notion that refugees granted access to the U.S. are inherently dangerous, noting "only the most vulnerable people are put forward for resettlement in the first place: survivors of torture, and women and children at risk or who might not survive without urgent, specialized medical assistance. "The actress, who adopted three of her and Pitt's six children from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, put her argument in the most personal of terms."As the mother of six children, who were all born in foreign lands and are proud American citizens, I very much want our country to be safe for them, and all our nation’s children. But I also want to know that refugee children who qualify for asylum will always have a chance to plead their case to a compassionate America.And that we can manage our security without writing off citizens of entire countries — even babies — as unsafe to visit our country by virtue of geography or religion.
