Ben Affleck

"Academy Award-winning actor and director Ben Affleck has taken a strong interest in Africa, visiting the continent many times to learn more about its conflicts. His latest project is a four-minute film showing the horrors of life as a Congolese refugee.

"The public service announcement was created for the United Nation's Gimme Shelter campaign.

"The film is set to the Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter song, which Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the band, donated to the campaign."
