Matt Damon visits with Zimbabwe refugees

From the AP:

An emotional Matt Damon listened to a Zimbabwean woman describe how she was raped while pregnant on a perilous journey across the border into South Africa.

The Hollywood actor visited refugee centers in Musina on the South African border with Zimbabwe as part of his work with the human rights organization he started with a number of other celebrities.

An estimated 3 million Zimbabweans have fled the economic collapse and dire humanitarian conditions in their country for South Africa.

Damon, who is in South Africa shooting a movie, said in an exclusive interview with the AP Tuesday that he was "shocked and saddened" by the plight of the people he had spoken to. He said conditions were "untenable" and called on international and regional leaders to take action.

This may be a part of his publicity but regardless of this, it's up to him if he'd take the refugees experiences seriously.

Isn't that great? Another pretentious Hollywood celeb travels to a disease infested foreign country to hang out with the locals and take pictures to show us all what a swell guy he is.
