During the filmโ€™s premiere, Angelina opened up about her personal connection to the movie and to Cambodia.

โ€œI cannot find words to express what it means to me that I was entrusted with telling part of the story of this country,โ€ she told the audience.

โ€œThis film was not made to focus on the horrors of the past, but to celebrate the resilience, kindness and talent of the Cambodian people. Most of all, this film is my way of saying thank you to Cambodia,โ€ she said.

โ€œWithout Cambodia, I may never have become a mother. Part of my heart is and will always be in this country. And part of this country is always with me: Maddox.โ€

Her eldest son, 15-year-old Maddox, also took to the stage to say a few words.

โ€œThank you everyone for attending tonight. We finally made it. Itโ€™s a great honour to present this film to all of you, and to stand by my mother and my family. And now Iโ€™d like to introduce my little sister Shiloh, as she has something to say,โ€ he said.

Ten-year-old Shiloh then said: โ€œMy name is Shiloh and I love Cambodiaโ€ in Khmer. Aww!

Both Maddox and Pax helped work on the film, and Angelina previously told The Guardian about how seriously Cambodian-born Maddox took the work.

โ€œHe was the one who just called it and said he was ready and that he wanted to work on it, which he did. He read the script, helped with notes, and was in the production meetings,โ€ she said.

Angie has been keeping out of the spotlight since her split from Brad Pitt.
