In the Land of Blood and Honey Premiere
Tue, January 10th, 2012
Washington, D.C.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace sponsored the Washington, D.C. premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey, the first film written and directed by Angelina Jolie. Set against the backdrop of the war in Bosnia, the film tells the story of a Bosnian Serb and Bosnian Muslim whose relationship is dramatically changed as violence engulfs the country.
Speaking at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Tom Carver, Carnegie’s vice president for communications and strategy and a former BBC correspondent who covered the conflict, explained that the International Crisis Group, one of the most important instruments of conflict prevention today, was conceived at Carnegie as a result of the war. Carver said that the Endowment’s then-president Mort Abramowitz realized “the need for an organization that could alert the world to future conflicts and mobilize the political will to try to stop them.”
