Humanitarian Themes in Angelina Jolie’s Filmography: ‘Beyond Borders’ and Beyond.

Beyond Borders is a 2003 American romantic-drama film about aid workers, directed by Martin Campbell and starring Angelina Jolie, Clive Owen, Teri Polo and Kate Ashfield The original music score was composed by James Horner.

Reflecting Jolie’s real-life interest in promoting humanitarian relief,the film was critically and financially unsuccessful. The film was marketed with the tagline “In a place she didn’t belong, among people she never knew, she found a way to make a difference.

Concurrently with the release of the film, Jolie published Notes from My Travels, a collection of journal entries from her real-life experiences as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) — similar to her character in the film.
