Angelina Jolie got very emotional while screening her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, in Bosnia on Tuesday night.
The actress, whose film is based on the conflict between the Serbs and the Bosnians, was all business on the red carpet with Brad Pitt, but became extremely taken by the audience in the theater after they applauded her work and gave her a standing ovation.
"It means so much to all of us, it means so much to me and I can't tell you how much it means to be here with all of you and to share this film and that you're receiving it so warmly means the world to me," a teary-eyed Angelina told the crowd. "I care so deeply for all of you in this country."

Angelina said that she was worried about the people in Bosnia seeing the film who had experienced firsthand the tragedy in the country. "The country is what mattered and the country has received it well," she told E! News' Ryan Seacrest at the Golden Globes in January. "That is everything to me and there's no greater reward."
