Jolie brings kids to event remembering Cambodian genocide

Actress-filmmaker Angelina Jolie brought her children Maddox and Shiloh to a music event, which paid tribute to the nearly two million victims of the Cambodian genocide.

The event took place on Saturday at the Brooklyn Academy of Music here, where the show combined the Metropolis Ensemble, the Taipei Philharmonic Chamber Choir and traditional Khmer vocalists and instruments.

The group which attended the show along with her included "First They Killed My Father" author Loung Ung, film director Rithy Panh and composer Him Sophy.

Jolie, 42, wore a beige trench coat. Her daughter Shiloh, 11, donned a white shirt and black trousers, while son, Maddox, 16, picked up his own simple outfit with a black scarf, reports people.com.

On December 15, the filmmaker brought along four of her children to accompany her to the 2017 United Nations Correspondents Association Awards at Cipriani Wall Street, where Jolie was honoured as the 2017 UNCA Global Citizen of the year.

She was photographed at the event alongside her sons Pax, 14, Knox, 9, and daughters Zahara, 12 and Shiloh, 11.
