The award-winning actress has teamed with BBC World to create a news program aimed at children. The project, titled Our World, is an English-language current affairs program. Set for a 2019 release, the show will see ten half hour episodes that will engage children from all corners of the globe. 

“There has never been a time when it was more important to introduce the next generation to objective, impartial news and factual explanation of the events and issues shaping our world,” Jolie said. “Children today are exposed to a lot of opinion, but not necessarily to information that is fact-based and reliable.”

She continued: “As a mother, I am very pleased that the BBC World Service is taking this step. It is also important to me that the project is global, and will help young people in different countries to be connected to each other and to have greater awareness and understanding of the news on an international basis.”

BBC World Service Director Jamie Angus added, “No parent can completely isolate their child from fake news. But what we can do is give kids the tools to distinguish the genuine from the false and encourage them to develop critical thinking – to ask themselves: who produced the video and why? Are they a reputable organization? Are they just telling one side of the story? Is there another view?”

According to Deadline, the BBC will seek production partners in order to expand programming into multiple languages.

James Scott’s 2014 novel of the same name serves as inspiration for Jolie’s new film. The script will be written by Alice Birch, who proved she has a knack for developing complex female characters with Lady Macbeth.

The Kept is set in rural New York state at the turn of the twentieth century. It follows a mother and her young son, who embark on a quest to avenge a terrible and violent tragedy that shattered their secluded home. After a trio of killers slaughters the rest of their family, they end up wandering through the frozen wilderness in search of the men responsible.

The 42-year-old actress hit the red carpet Friday night with two very special young ladies, her daughters Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Zahara Jolie-Pitt. The mother-daughters trio looked absolutely adorable posing for photographers at the TCL Chinese 6 Theaters in Los Angeles.

This premiere of animated film The Breadwinner was quite special for Zahara and Shiloh, as their mom served as a producer on the film. The Breadwinner tells the story of a young girl in Afghanistan who disguises herself as a boy in order to provide for her family.

Friday wasn’t the two’s first red carpet, as all of Jolie’s children accompanied her on her press tour for First They Killed My Father. However, the sweet trio could not have looked happier posing together and spearing smiles everywhere.

In an interview with People magazine, the 16-year old son reveals that he pitched in on meetings, prepping for shoots and helped review dailies on the film Angelina directed for Netflix (out on Friday, Sept. 15). The drama is based on family friend Loung Ung’s memoir about surviving the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia. Maddox’s younger brother, 13-year-old Pax Jolie-Pitt, was also part of the production and worked as a set photographer.

Maddox told the magazine about what it was like to work with his mother on the project. “[She’s] fun, funny, and easy to work with,” he revealed. “She’s a wonder.”

Angelina focused her time on her family after filing for divorce from Brad Pitt on Sept. 2016.

“I have had my ups and downs. I guess I am a little bit stronger,” the 42-year-old actress and director told People in the new cover story. “We all have our difficult times, but as a mother you also have a responsibility first and foremost towards the kids. They are going through their formative years and everything else comes second to that.”

“I haven’t worked for over a year now because they needed me home,” she added. “We’ve all been a bit in lockdown.” But now, “I think they’re itching to get out in the world again.”

Angelina, who adopted Maddox in 2002, said that her son encouraged her to direct the film about his home country.

“Mad knows himself very well and if he said he was ready, I knew he knew,” she shared. “He goes back and forth [to Cambodia] a lot, but this would be over four months of just being in the country, really reading, listening, learning and absorbing all things about his culture and country [including] the very, very dark parts.”

Maddox told the magazine that he loves the Cambodian people. “[They are] calm, relaxed, and when they want to do something wild, they do it — much like me in a way. I’m proud to be a Cambodian.”

According to Angelina, her son has been taking flying lessons and speaks several languages in addition to his filmmaking interest.

“He’s quite capable and always takes me by surprise,” the mother of six proudly shared. “He’s been practicing flying, then they called me the other day and said, ‘So Mad can go solo,’ and I nearly dropped the phone! He’s been taking French and Russian and all these different languages. I hear him talking in full, fluent French, and they’ll tell me he’s reached a certain level in his German, and I have no idea. He doesn’t do it in front of me.”

During a reception at the Telluride Film Festival, where First They Killed My Father, a movie directed by Jolie was presented, she spoke of her return to the front of the camera, “I am now the breadwinner for the family, so it’s time.”

Jolie told The Hollywood Reporter that she has to take a year off so she could concentrate on her family saying that she was needed at home and that she hopes to work again soon. She added that “when I feel it’s time for me to go back to work, I’ll be able to go back to work.”

However, Jolie tells of this return to acting that it’s simply the result of not having “anything to direct that I feel passionate about.” The actress opened up about the difficulties of focusing on directing rather than acting, saying that “at some point I’ll probably just direct, but you just don’t know if you can have a career as a director. You don’t know how things are going to be received.”
