Angelina Jolie can’t shake her troubles during filming in Bosnia, said HuffingtonPost.com. Bosnian officials initially denied her a permit to film in the country after rumors spread that the actress, 35, was planning to film a story about a Muslim woman who falls in love with a sexually abusive Serbian jailor during the Bosnian War. This week, a group of wartime rape victims wrote to the United Nations asking that Jolie be stripped of her role as goodwill ambassador. “As far as we’re concerned, a love story could not have existed in a camp,” said the letter. Jolie says the film contains no love-rape scenario, and insists the film’s plot has been misunderstood.
