"I love this country. I was honoured to have a chance to meet everybody," US Magazine quoted Jolie as saying.

"This movie was a chance to bring attention to the situation that happened so long ago, and I hope that it brings attention and more dialogue to remind people what everybody here went through," she added.

The festival director, Mirsad Purivatra praised her both for her cinematic achievements as well as global humanitarian efforts.
