This movie takes place in the 1990’s during the Bosnian War that tore the Balkan region apart, it tell the story of a soldier named Danijel fighting for the Serbs, and Ajla, a Bosnian who is held captive in the camp he oversees. They knew each other before the war, and could have found love with each other. But as the armed conflict takes hold of their lives, their relationship grows darker, their motives and connection to one another ambiguous, their allegiances uncertain.
This movie is very, very graphic! There was one point where I thought I was going to have to look away from the screen - thankfully I didn't have to! I know the movie can seem to be too much at times, but a huge part of Angelina Jolie's life is as a Good Will Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, this is something she sees and knows about and is trying to show the world that this is what happens and that it happens to women and children as sad as it is.
Angelina Jolie's gut-wrenching look into the Bosnian War that must be seen.
