Jolie says she never intended to make her directorial debut with a controversial film.

London: Hollywood star Angelina Jolie says she never intended to make her directorial debut with a controversial film about the Bosnian Civil War.
The 36-year-old, whose film `In the Land of Blood and Honey` chronicles the romance between a rape and kidnap victim set against the backdrop of the 1990s war in Bosnia, said she became fascinated by the conflict while studying up on the region for her own interests, Contactmusic reported. "My passion was to get a great education in Bosnia, and then it somehow just led to this film and then I met the people from the region and I couldn`t be more passionate about these people and I just followed their lead," she said. Jolie served as writer, producer and director on the movie, but reveals she relied on her cast to make the storyline more believable.

The film releases on December 23. PTI
