The Bosnian radio reported that the revocation of Jolie’s permit to shoot her film is due to the raised complaints of women who were war victims.
Gavrilo Grahovac stated on Bosnian radio, the Culture Minister of the Muslim-Croat federation — one of the two entities in post-war Bosnia — revoked permission to shoot scenes in Sarajevo and the central town Zenica.
As written in AFP,the Hollywood trade daily Variety presented the movie’s plot. The story will revolve around a Serbian man and a Bosnian lady who fell in love during the war,however,the lovebirds got separated.
On different note,the Bosnian press reported,Jolie’s movie is about a story of love about a Muslim victim and her Serbian rapist,which caused commotion and outrage among victims’ groups.
“They no longer have the authorisation to shoot in Bosnia. They will have it if they send us the scenario with a story which will be different from what we have been told by people who read it,” Grahovac told the radio.
The culture minister said the revocation of the movie’s permit is their way to “express our disapproval for the shooting of a movie which does not tell the truth and hurts a large number of victims”.
The novice director,Angelina Jolie has started filming in Hungary was planning to continue the remaining scenes in Bosnia.
According to Bosnian actress Zana Marjanovic, who has landed the lead in the movie, the film is “an epic drama against the backdrop of the 1992-92 Bosnian war”.
However, the victims of war are thoroughly against over the film’s reported synopsis about a rapist and his victim falling in love.
“This is misleading history. Among thousands of testimonies by women raped during the war, there is not a single one that tells of a love story between a victim and her rapist,” Bakira Hasecic, the head of the “Women victims of war” association in Sarajevo, told AFP.
