Forget the red carpet premieres, on Friday Angelina Jolie debuted her film "A Place In Time" to a group of NYC public school students. The global documentary that she helped direct travels to more than 25 countries to show the day-to-day lifestyle of people, places, and animals in each area as they happen in conjunction with each other."I am thrilled to screen this film along with the Tribeca Film Institute to the students of the New York City public school system, one of the most culturally diverse in the world," Jolie said. "Today's students will be our leaders tomorrow and they will inherit the many problems we face. We hope that in some small way this film can interest them in international issues and our increasingly interconnected world."
The National Education Association, which represents 3.2 million educators, is partnering with Angelina and creating a curriculum that promotes diversity.
