First Published: December 13, 2011 9:08 AM EST Credit: Getty Images BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- Caption Angelina Jolie steps out at the In the Land of Blood and Honey premiere held at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood, Calif. on December 8, 2011The head of a group for Serbs held prisoner during Bosnias 1992-95 war says Angelina Jolies movie In the Land of Blood and Honey should be banned in the Serb-run part of the country. Branislav Djukic of the Bosnian Serb Association of Camp Prisoners told the Associated Press on Tuesday that although he has seen only the trailer, he can already say the movie is showing lies and portraying Serbs as the only ones who raped women during the war. Jolies movie will be released in the U.S. on Dec. 23 and is a heavy drama about a Serb soldier who finds his ex-lover, a Muslim Bosnian woman, among sex slaves in a camp. The movie was praised by a selected audience of 11 non-Serb war victim groups who saw it in Sarajevo earlier this month. Copyright 2011 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
