MUMBAI: Angelina Jolie‘s directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey is being shown in Sarajevo from Thursday, it is understood.

It will be screened twice a day until December 28, two months before it officially opens in Europe, the local distributor, Blitz film, said in a statement.
 
The film, a love story between a Muslim woman and a Serb man, prompted speculation in local media that it was the story of a Muslim rape victim who fell in love with her Serb attacker.
 
In the Land of Blood and Honey which Jolie filmed in 2010, is set against the background of Bosnia‘s 1992-1995 inter-ethnic war and features a number of actors from the former Yugoslavia.
 
The international preview took place on December 5 in New York and the film opens in the US on Friday. It will go on general release in Europe in early February.
