Angelina Jolie reflects on her work in making war films and confesses she's part of the failure in the system in championing on human rights. Filmmaker actress makes remarks at TIFF Tribute Awards

“A lot of Jolie’s films are about the long impact of war,” said TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey tonight at the world premiere of her sixth directorial Without Blood. Her blockbuster 2014 holiday movie, Unbroken followed Olympian Louis Zamperini turned WWII pilot, who spends a harrowing 47 days in a raft with two fellow crewmen before he’s caught by the Japanese navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.
