Angelina Jolie is making her next project a family affair! The Academy Award-winning actress will direct, produce and co-write an adaptation of Cambodian author Loung Ung’s memoir, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers. Jolie said in a statement, “I was deeply affected by Loung’s book. It deepened forever my understanding of how children experience war and are affected by the emotional memory of it.” She added, “it helped me draw closer still to the people of Cambodia, my son’s homeland.”
The actress’ eldest son, 13-year-old Maddox Jolie-Pitt, was born in Cambodia. The teen is said to be involved in the film’s production.
