Powerful video shows celebrities reading a poem to highlight the plight of refugees

Cate Blanchett, the Oscar-winning actress and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees goodwill ambassador, performs alongside fellow actors Keira Knightley, Peter Capaldi, Jesse Eisenberg and others, in a new UNHCR campaign video highlighting the plight of refugees. In the video, released on Facebook on Monday, celebrities recite the poem ‘What They Took With Them,’ written by Jenifer Toksvig and inspired by first-hand testimonies of refugees. The film urges viewers to sign UNHCR’s #WithRefugees petition, a call to action asking governments to help ensure refugees receive the help they need to rebuild their lives. Sep 12, 2016
