End of Sarajevo Film Festival:

This is who SHOULD have been on the red carpet in Sarajevo:

Not at all thrilled.


Comments:
Why do I have the feeling that I've missed an important part of the narrative?
 
I covered earlier the controversy on Angelina Jolie's film. It really upset the Association of Women Victims of War. The story line includes a 'romance' between a Muslim Bosnian girl and a Serb.
 
I was referring to what has apparently gone on in the interim, since the controversy, to make the film so appreciated in Sarajevo. I hadn't heard of much in the way of ground level conciliatory gestures.
