Angelina Jolie Faces Protest, Stalls Shooting Of Her Directorial Venture
November 20th, 2010 - 8:04 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
However, as news about her movie spread there was word going around that it was based on a love story between a soldier and the girl he had raped. This has annoyed certain woman’s groups who protested against the storyline. They have been told that the film revolves around an inter ethnic rape scene. After the protests were voiced, the permission granted to the film’s crew for shooting in Bosnia stands invalid till further notice.
According to reports, they protested as it would distort the facts and would give the entire truth a veil of romanticism, which was the last thing that the victims had thought of after being so cruelly treated.
Thus after the protests, Angelina and her crew are planning to shift base.
However, the next leg of shooting which was to be held in Serbia has been called off as of now. Angelina has written to the protesting groups to allow her to prove herself and show that the film has nothing to do with what they have thought it showcases.
The yet untitled Bosnian film has the local Bosnian stars in the cast and it involved a ten-day shooting stint in Bosnia, which remains incomplete due to these sudden turn of events.
