00:17press kit. The film, which Jolie directed and wrote, is a powerful drama set in the
00:22aftermath of a tragedy. On the red carpet, the Oscar-winning actress and director posed
00:29for photos with Pax, who made headlines just two months earlier due to a serious e-bike
00:34accident. Jolie shared her relief, telling Entertainment Tonight, I'm very happy he's
