Angelina Jolie's 'In The Land Of Blood And Honey' Ban Sought By Bosnian Serb

Angelina Jolie's film "In the Land of Blood and Honey," set to hit theaters Dec. 23, is continuing to cause problems for the director/writer.


The head of a group of Serbs held prisoner during Bosnia's 1992-1995 war says Jolie's movie should be banned in the Serb-run part of the country.


Branislav Djukic of the Bosnian Serb Association of Camp Prisoners told the Associated Press on Tuesday that although he has only seen the trailer he can already see the movie "is showing lies" and portraying Serbs as the only ones who raped women during the war.


Though, before Jolie could start filming in Bosnia the government had to approve of her script.


The actress' film is about a Serb soldier who finds his ex-lover, a Muslim Bosnian woman, among sex slaves in a camp.

Jolie's movie will be released in the U.S. on Dec. 23 and is a heavy drama about a Serb soldier who finds his ex-lover, a Muslim Bosnian woman, among sex slaves in a camp.


The movie was praised by a selected audience of 11 non-Serb war victim groups who saw it in Sarajevo earlier this month.
