Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie has attended the premiere of new film Darfur Now with hubby Brad Pitt.

The private screening was held at the United Nations building in New York at the start of a General Assembly.

Jolie is a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Goodwill Ambassador.

The film explores the continued conflict in Sudan through the experiences of six people.

Written and directed by Ted Braun, the film stars Brad's Oceans Thirteen co-star Don Cheadle and is set to open in US cinemas from November 2.

Meanwhile, Angelina is getting high praise for her latest film role in A Mighty Heart.

She plays Mariane Pearl, the wife of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and killed by al-Qaeda terrorists in Pakistan in 2002.

The movie documents the search for her husband as she pleads on TV for his release.

Angelina says she found Mariane an awe-inspiring woman.
