2. In the Land of Blood and Honey
The movie is the debut made by one of the hottest and successful Hollywood stars, Angelina Jolie, as her doorway to the world of directorship. The movie is based on the universal subject of war and the conditions during and after the act; on the surface it is a romantic tale of a Serb officer Danijel and Bosniak prisoner Ajla.

The story deals with the treatment of Bosniak Muslims, especially women, in the war camps most commonly referred as ‘rape camps’. As soon as the movie is released, and even during its making, it received criticism more than acclaim; the Bosniak women association objected on the subject as they believed that Jolie is trying to bring their personal matters on universal level, which is unacceptable by them. Apart from this, the movie contains love making scenes between Danijel and Ajla, which caused another conflict as Ajla is a Muslim girl and such lucid depiction of sex is considered offensive by the Muslim viewers. Apart from all the controversy, the movie was a disturbing experience for the war survivors, especially the women raped during it, as they feel as if the war is still going on. Another controversy that strikes is that the story was claimed to have been stolen by the director, which she counteracted by saying that she had collected the information through varied sources.
