Beyond Borders is a 2003 film about aid workers, directed by Martin Campbell and starring Angelina Jolie and Clive Owen.[1][2]
Although it reflected Jolie's real-life interest in promoting humanitarian relief, the film was critically and financially unsuccessful.
Concurrently with the release of the film, Jolie published Notes from My Travels, a collection of journal entries from her real-life experiences as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) — similar to what the character she plays in the movie does.

In a place she didn't belong, among people she ever knew, she found a way to make a difference.
While attending a fundraising gala, Sarah Jordan (Jolie), a naive, married American socialite living in England, witnesses a fiery plea delivered by an intruder- a renegade humanitarian, Dr. Nick Callahan (Owen). His plea made on behalf of impoverished children under his care, turns Sarah's life upside down. Attracted to Nick and his cause, she impulsively abandons her sheltered life in England to work along side him in his effort to aid the refugee camps.
As Sarah's work takes her to these volatile areas, where few people have traveled an even fewer have survived, she discovers that the harsh realities she encounters, and her growing attraction to the charismatic, unpredictable doctor, ignite in her passion for saving lives... while risking her own in the process.
Beyond Borders was nominated for two awards. The PFS Award for peace and the Razzie Award for Worst Actress
