Angelina Jolie Meets Refugee Breakdancers on UNHCR Peru Trip

Angelina Jolie met with some breakdancing Venezuelan refugees in Lima as part of a three-day trip to Peru with the UNHCR in October.

In a video shared by the UNHCR on November 15, Jolie visits a hostel in the San Juan de Lurigancho district, in east Lima, and meets members of breakdancing group Inyectando Kultura.
