Los Angeles, May 20 (IBNS): Hollywood actor Angelina Jolie on Sunday congratulated Afghanistan filmmaker Sahraa Karimi for her appointment as the  Director General of Afghan Film.

“I was moved to hear of your recent historic appointment as the Director General of the Afghan Film production company. I wanted to write to congratulate you on your remarkable achievement. Afghanistan is very close to my heart and I can imagine how much your appointment means to your fellow countrywomen in particular,”  Jolie wrote in her letter to Karimi.
