See Harrowing Trailer for Angelina Jolies First They Killed My Father

Netflix has unveiled the harrowing first trailer for First They Killed My Father, Angelina Jolies film about a young Cambodian girl forced to become a child soldier amid the countrys genocide in the Seventies.

Based on Loung Ungs 2000 memoir of the same name, First They Killed My Father follows the authors story as her normal childhood is torn apart when Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge come after her family. On the run and separated from her family, Ung is eventually forced to train as a child soldier in order to survive.

The heart of it is Loungs story, Jolie previously said of the film. Its the story of a war through the eyes of a child, but it is also the story of a country. Jolie co-wrote the screenplay with Ung and filmed it in Cambodia.

First They Killed My Father, which arrives on Netflix on September 15th, marks Jolies fourth non-documentary feature film, following 2011s In the Land of Blood and Honey, 2014s Unbroken and 2015s By the Sea, which she appeared in alongside her now-former husband Brad Pitt.
