When Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie visited a camp for Syrian refugees in southeastern Turkey last month, she brought her nine-year old daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, who has been asking to accompany her famous mother to the camps.
"Shiloh is very aware that I hold refugee families in high regard and has been asking to come on missions and meet them for many years," Jolie told People.

Angelina Jolie has been interested in refugee rights since 2001 when she filmed Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in Cambodia. She has been a Special Envoy of the UN refugee agency since April 2012 and since then has campaigned for more to be done to alleviate the suffering of refugees around the world.
'Never before have so many people been dispossessed or stripped of their human rights,' Jolie said in a statement.
"When I met Hala in 2014, they had arrived in Lebanon as refugees," Jolie Pitt says in the video. "One year later, I'm back with my daughter Shiloh to see how life has been."
Life in the camp is a far cry from the privileged Hollywood world that Shiloh lives in with actor dad Brad Pitt, biological siblings Knox and Vivienne, adopted siblings Maddox from Cambodia, Zahara from Ethiopia, and Pax Thien from Vietnam.
