Ben Affleck and Mick Jagger teamed up on Wednesday to launch a short film called "Gimme Shelter" drawing attention to the plight of Congolese families driven from their homes by a decade of war.
Oscar winner and actor Affleck, who has traveled to central Africa four times since 2007, directed the film which was shot in North Kivu in Congo last month to help raise $23 million for the work of the U.N. refugee agency in Congo.
