Angelina Jolie on YouTube

Living like a refugee ... More than 30 million people live through the tragedy of sudden displacement. The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNCHR) cares for more than 20 million of them, and it's a cause Angelina Jolie has taken up since 2001.

Angelina has made a public service announcement for June 20, "World Refugee Day".
This year and on this occasion, Rome's coliseum is illuminated, there's a film festival in Tokyo and over 20 exhibitions in major cities.

In the stirring PSA Angelina speaks for the UN on behalf of the world's refugees:
"They have survived war, they have survived displacement, they have survived rape, they have survived hunger and disease."

This is a global celebration close to what life should be more about!
