On a related note, Angelina Jolie has handed over home video footage she shot during a recent trip to Africa. The Diary of Angelina Jolie & Dr Jeffrey Sachs in Africa will air Sept. 14 on MTV. The 30-minute special follows her and United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan's deputy on a recent visit to Kenyan village Sauri, where Sach's U.N. Millennium Project team is working to end hunger and disease. In the documentary, Jolie and Sachs meet villagers and observe how their lives have been affected by the lack of clean water, malnutrition and poor health care. The special also shows efforts that have been made to address these concerns.

Jolie, a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, adds, "I'm certain the stories in this special will inspire viewers the same way these experiences have inspired me, and I'm hopeful that increased awareness of the issues in Africa will bring about a new wave of progress and activism among young people everywhere."
