Angelina Jolie Played Cruel Experiment on Impoverished Kids

While filming her next directorial feature, Angelina Jolie played a cruel experiment on impoverished children in Cambodia.

She told Vanity Fair about the casting process, which involved a cruel "game" in which impoverished children from orphanages, circuses and slum schools were presented with money on a table and asked to think about what they needed it for. The children were then encouraged to snatch the money. The director would then pretend to catch the child, and the child had to come up with a lie about why they needed they money.

"Srey Moch was the only child that stared at the money for a very, very long time," Jolie told the reporter. "When she was forced to give it back, she became overwhelmed with emotion. All these different things came flooding back. When she was asked later what the money was for, she said her grandfather had died, and they didn’t have enough money for a nice funeral."

This casting scheme re-traumatized impoverished children, and it isn't right. Please sign this petition to demand Angelina Jolie publicly apologize and donate to an organization that benefits Cambodian orphans!

Jolie was filming for her directorial debut, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers. The film is a biopic of Cambodian author and activist Loung Ung and the trauma she and her family suffered under the Khmer Rouge Communist Party.

The film will focus on her childhood. Sareum Srey Moch, an untrained actress from Cambodia, will play her.
