Phnom Penh:Actress Angelina Jolie made her first public appearance after she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in September 2016, when she stepped out for a press conference ahead of the Cambodia premiere of her new film "First They Killed My Father".
She made her appearance on Saturday in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
The film will be presented in the ancient Angkor Wat temple complex with Cambodia's King Norodom Sihamoni, Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk and senior government officials are expected to attend, reports people.com.

"I read Loung's book many years ago. It helped to open my eyes to what was going on the world," said Jolie.
