To cast her new film Angelina Jolie had poor children from Cambodian slums and orphanages audition by playing a "game" where she placed her money in front of them. After the game she took it right back.

To cast the children in the film, Jolie looked at orphanages, circuses, and slum schools, specifically seeking children who had experienced hardship. In order to find their lead, to play young Loung Ung, the casting directors set up a game, rather disturbing in its realism: they put money on the table and asked the child to think of something she needed the money for, and then to snatch it away. The director would pretend to catch the child, and the child would have to come up with a lie. “Srey Moch [the girl ultimately chosen for the part] was the only child that stared at the money for a very, very long time,” Jolie says. “When she was forced to give it back, she became overwhelmed with emotion. All these different things came flooding back.” Jolie then tears up. “When she was asked later what the money was for, she said her grandfather had died, and they didn’t have enough money for a nice funeral.”

This woman went out to find the most disadvantaged children she could, throw cash (which they need) in their face just for a reaction, and then had them give the money back. This kind of manipulation of the most vulnerable of people is sick yet the media are more interested in her divorce.
