The Berlin International Film Festival is well underway in Germany, with films from all over the world taking centre stage.
One of the biggest movies at the festival this year is The Land of Blood and Honey – Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut.
The critically acclaimed film addresses the Bosnian War, and the human rights atrocities that took place during the bloody conflict. Angelina has already won recognition for the film, receiving the Cinema for Peace award in Berlin.
The film retells the violent past that is still fresh in the minds of many Bosnians, but there are some beautiful places to visit in this part of Europe.
