Serb group urges ban on Angelina Jolie's new film

Serbs who were prisoners of war want Angelina Jolie’s new movie banned in their homeland.

The Bosnian Serb Association of Camp Prisoners, which is comprised of those held prisoner during the 1992-1995 Bosnia war, state that the film, In the Land of Blood and Honey, portrays their people as the only ones who committed rape during the conflict.

However, one Association member, Branislav Djukic, admitted that he has only seen the film’s trailer, but stands by his group’s claim.

The film is directed and co-written by Jolie and is set for release in American cinemas on Dec. 23. It centers on the romance between a Serb soldier and a Muslim Bosnian woman who encounter each other during the war.

It has already been praised by non-Serb war victims, who was it in Sarajevo in early December.

Jolie recently described the cast and crew of Honey as being like family. She also said that making the film helped her understand the war.

"When we were in New York [at the premiere], and we were all together presenting something that we felt represented history and brought dialogue, we were together and we were a family, and I was extremely moved by that," she said.
