WTG, Angie! :)

Angelina Jolie received the Heart of Sarajevo award at the Sarajevo film festival last 30 July.

For her first film as a director, Angelina chose a story that had the Bosnia early 90s war as the setting.

"In the Land of Blood and Honey" sounds like an interesting film/story - a love affair between a Bosnian Muslim woman and a Serb, who were on opposite warring sides during the conflict.

The actress was close to tears as the audience applauded her continuously and gave her a standing ovation.

"I will start crying if you don't stop," she said.

"Tonight we are giving the honorary Heart of Sarajevo to a great artist, not only for the great impact she has in the world of cinema but also for persisting and her active engagement in the complexities of the real world," said Festival director Mirsad Purivatra.

Very true. I'm a huge fan of Angelina Jolie, primarily because of her engagement with the UNHCR.

Mrs. Pitt, as part of her work for UNHRCR, has visited Bosnia as a goodwill ambassador. She has also helped fund the construction of several houses for returnees in eastern Bosnia.

I really admire her.
