Cate Blanchett: From Oscar-winning performance to championing refugees | United Nations

With an acting career of more than 30 years, Cate Blanchett is considered one of the best actresses of her generation. But she also plays important non-fictional roles.

In 2016, Blanchett became a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR.

Since then, he has traveled to Bangladesh, where he met Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar; Lebanon, where she met Syrians forced from their homes by the war; and most recently to Jordan, which hosts more than 743,000 refugees.

We caught up with her to talk about UN operations and how the refugees she met changed her perspective.
