Angelina Jolie met with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen at the Peace Palace in Phnom Penh on Thursday. She's in Cambodia prepping for her latest film, an adaptation of the memoir First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers, which she's directing alongside Cambodian director and producer Rithy Panh for Netflix. The country holds a special place in Angelina's life, as her son Maddox was born there.
The 14-year-old will be "involved behind the scenes," according to Angelina, who also shared with the Associated Press that she and Maddox "will be side by side learning about his country." She said, "This is a very important time for him to understand who he is. He is my son but he is also a son of Cambodia. This is the time for our family to understand all that that means to him and to us. My desire to tell this story in the most truthful and accurate way possible will be my tribute to the strength and dignity of all Cambodian people. Maddox will be on set every day after school and involved behind the scenes. And yes, Maddox is already involved in the Foundation and will take over my role when he is older."
