First They Killed My Father

First They Killed My Father (2017), filmed in Cambodia and the United States, a drama set during Cambodia's Khmer Rouge era, again enabled Jolie to combine both interests. In addition to directing the film, she co-wrote the screenplay with her longtime friend Loung Ung, whose memoirs about the regime's child labor camps served as its source material. It received nominations for the Golden Globe and BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language.
