Angelina Jolie Is Executive Producing a Current Affairs TV Show for Children!

Angelina Jolie is launching a new television series!

The 43-year-old actress and activist is teaming up with BBC Learning, a division of BBC Studios, BBC World Service and Microsoft Education to launch an English-language current affairs TV show for an adolescent audience.

Beginning with a pilot of ten episodes, the weekly half-hour program will be produced by the BBC World Service and executive produced by Angelina.

The primary objective is “to help children have access to impartial information of the highest editorial standard and bring a deeper understanding of the different issues their peers face in other parts of the world.”

The intention is to expand into multiple languages following the launch of the English-language version of the show.

“All of us who have come together on this project feel a great responsibility towards young people. We want to make sure that we are able to put forward a news program that helps to give them a broad view of the world they live in and the issues they face, and that helps connect them to other children around the world,” says Angelina.
