Angelina Jolie faces protest from Rape Victims

http://tprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Angelina-Jolie-Wallpapers.jpgAs a debut director, Angelina Jolie must have been prepared for unusual challenges, but nothing prepared for this.

Her debut movie (still untitled) is a love story based in Bosnia during the civil war in the 90s. A rumour was started that claimed it wasn’t a love story so much as the relationship between a woman and her rapist.  The organisation called Women Victims of War, wrote an angry letter to the United Nations protesting against the film. The reason for this is she is a goodwill ambassador for the UN.

To his credit,, the Bosnian Minister of Culture waded into the issue, read the script and found no evidence of the rumour claims.

Sadly it was too late as she cut the Bosnian shoot from 10 days to 3, so she would shoot the rest in Prague.

Hint: Confirm a rumour before jumping into a situation. You might end up looking stupid, no matter how justified your claims might have seemed at the time.
