Hollywood star Angelina Jolie had two films in the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) — one as director, the other as executive producer. Both the titles stemmed from her active involvement with humanitarian work around the world. The first tells the story of a girl who survived the “killing fields” of Cambodia in the 1970s; the second, an animation film set in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, journeys into the world of a pre-teen girl seeking freedom and happiness amid seismic changes.
