The Bosnian press has reported that Angelina's film is about a rape victim who falls in love with her rapist. Complaints from the Women Victims of War Association has convinced the government to ban her from filming in their country.

Culture minister Gavrilo Grahovac revoked the license to film because he wanted to "express our disapproval for the shooting of a movie which does not tell the truth and hurts a large number of victims."

The head of the Women Victims of War association in Sarajevo, Bakira Hasecic, stated,

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. We will not allow anyone to falsify our pain.

The filmmakers say that the film has nothing to do with a rape victim and is only a love story. They have sent a copy of the script over to Bosnian officials in hopes of convincing them to allow Angelina to shoot in Sarajevo.

Angelina told the women's group, "Don't judge me before you see the film."

What do you think? Should Angelina be granted permission to film in Bosnia?

    if angelina's movie is in fact about a rape victim falling in love with her rapist then i can see why the women's group would be pissed. but, that shouldn't have anything to do with where the movie is filmed.

    Much worse atrocities have occurred in Bosnia. Its a damn movie. They should just close their mouths and take the money,their people and economy could use the money.Even if the film is way past being borderline politically incorrect.

    if they say it isn't about a rape victim and then send a copy of the script they are probably telling the truth. who knows how a rumor like this would get started, but i highly doubt a woman who works with refugees would direct a film about a woman falling in love with a rapist during war.

    Gotta figure, if the script was tested prior to shooting, which is always done, and it was approved by the government to shoot it, what games is Hollywood playing now on? It's just sensationalism in the making~

    Based on the information provided, I say Angelina should be allowed to shoot her film.

    Likewise, the world should be allowed to boycott such a stupid and insulting piece of trash.

    Hopefully, the Bosnian people can make a few million dollars and any idiot investing in something so insensitive will lose a few million.

    I think that Angelina Jolie is right about them not judging her before seeing or reading the script of the film. However, I do understand why the Women Victims of War Association wouldn't want something like that out there. I hope this is true because the people of Saravejo have suffered enough.
