Angelina Jolie has recorded a PSA for World Refugee Day 2012, which takes place June 20.

"Every minute, eight people around the world are forced to flee their homes due to war and persecution," the 37-year-old actress and UNHCR Special Envoy says in the video.

"No one chooses to be a refugee," Angelina adds. "Today, 43 million people worldwide have been displaced. We remember them."

Angelina met with refugees in Ecuador in April. The trip marked her first visit since being appointed Special Envoy of UNHCR High Commissioner Antonio Guterres.
