Angelina Jolie’s film, “First They Killed My Father” has made big headlines everywhere and is now on Netflix. It is one of the most talked about movies in which I believe should have went straight to theaters. However, not everyone will see it on Netflix. Hopefully, the movie will come out on DVD. People may decide that they would like to own a copy. From what I have seen from the movie trailer, it looks like a big success. After all, Angelina is very familiar with Cambodia and knows all about the country. She adopted her son Maddox from there. Angelina knows how to make a great film because she has great knowledge. She thought it was important to share that knowledge by making the film, “First They Killed My Father”.

The movie First They Killed My Father is a 2017 biographical historical thriller film directed by Angelina Jolie and written by Jolie and Loung Ung, based on Ung’s memoir of same name. Set in 1975, the film depicts 5-year-old Ung who is forced to be trained as a child soldier while her siblings are sent to labor camps during the Khmer Rouge regime. _ Wikipedia
