Politically-active couple that they are, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, have just met with two Iraqi families on a visit to Syria. The movie star couple chatted with the refugees in Damascus as part of Angie's commitment as Goodwill Ambassador for the UN refugee agency.
After chatting with one woman named Hoda about her experience of being kidnapped with her son, Jolie tells the woman, "I'm grateful to you for sharing this story. It helps to make it easier to understand your problems."
The A-lister said to press after her encounter with the families, "It is clear that the Syrian people...have always shown generous hospitality to people in need. I hope that the rest of the world recognizes that we all have to share this burden and continue to take care of Iraqi refugees."
While Angelina was engaged in discourse, Brad played with refugee children, looking scruffy and playful.
