Kabul’s story is a reminder of how quickly progress can be lost - and why freedom should never be taken for granted.

The session was held in honor of World Bee Day, with Angelina Jolie posing with bees for 18 minutes... a noble and risky gesture to honor the insects that play a fundamental role in our nature.
