London, Dec 14 (ANI): Angelina Jolie's Bosnia war film 'In the Land of Blood and Honey' is to be honoured with a special award for its portrayal of social issues.
The Producers Guild of America said that the movie, Jolie's directorial debut that she also wrote and co-produced, would be given the 2012 Stanley Kramer Award.
The award was established in 2002 in memory of the Hollywood director, and is given annually to a movie producer whose work "illuminates provocative social issues in an accessible and elevating fashion."
"'In the Land of Blood and Honey' is an extraordinary film that portrays a complex love story set against the terrors of the Bosnian War, especially towards women," the Telegraph quoted Producers Guild presidents Hawk Koch and Mark Gordon as saying.
The movie tells a tale of love between a Serb man and a Muslim woman before the 1992-1995 Bosnian war who later meet in different circumstances when he is an army officer while she is his detainee. (ANI)
