Brad Pitt narrates six hour-long documentary of "RX for Survival" A Global Health Challenge", a series that follows health-care workers and researchers struggling to contain disease among the world's poor.
The episodes are being broadcast starting tonight on PBS and ending Thursday.

"I've been involved with the issue of poverty - I've been studying it for about a year and a half now. I think one of the major causes of that is health, global health", Pitt told the Associated Press in a phone interview.
"I think it could be one of the major issues of the century. There are two things at stake here: one is human interest and the other is self-interest. We're finding out that there's no safe haven from infectious diseases. It's a plane flight away.

The human interest is enough - the fact that millions are dying from preventable, curable diseases. But if the human interest isn't enough, then wisdom will tell you that self-preservation is", Pitt added.

"I want to educate myself as much as I can to understand the situation, to understand the solutions", the actor confessed

"I've had the luxury of travel and in the luxury of travel, I've seen the detriments of poverty and I've gone on to see how easy the cures can be - cures that cost cents to the richest nation in the world.", Pitt added.

Meanwhile, the Oceans's Twelve star has been photographed playing on the beach with Angelina Jolie's children, outside his Malibu home. .

An onlooker revealed: "Brad and Angelina looked like they have been a family for years. Maddox loved running around on the beach showing off for his mum and Brad".
