In the Land of Blood and Honey (2011) is Angelina Jolie's directorial debut, a war drama set during the Bosnian War of the early 1990s. It centers on a Bosniak woman and a Bosnian Serb man who once shared a romance before the violence tore their country apart. Their paths, separated by siege, ethnic cleansing, and personal trauma, repeatedly cross amid ruined cities, checkpoints, and refugee camps. The film probes love under siege, moral ambiguity, and the cost of hatred.
