Angelina Jolie renews push for domestic violence law

Description

Film star Angelina Jolie calls for US lawmakers to immediately pass new legislation combatting domestic violence. "I want to acknowledge… the many people for whom this legislation comes too late," she says while fighting back tears at a US Capitol press briefing, during which she introduces a new package of legislation that would provide victims of domestic violence with medical and legal assistance, as well as support children who have been exposed to violence in the home.
