MIGHTY HEART
In the 5 years since Daniel Pearl’s
death, nearly 230 journalists have been killed in the line of
duty.
On January 23, 2002, Mariane Pearl’s world changed forever. Her
husband Daniel, the South Asia Bureau chief for the Wall Street
Journal, was researching a story on shoe bomber Richard Reid.
The story drew them to Karachi where a go-between had promised
access to an elusive source. As Danny left for the meeting, he
told Mariane he might be late for dinner. He never returned.
In the face of death, Danny’s spirit
of defiance and his unflinching belief in the power of
journalism led Mariane to write about his disappearance, the
intense effort to find him and his eventual murderer in her
memoir A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband
Danny Pearl. Six months pregnant when the ordeal began, she was
carrying a son that Danny hoped to name Adam. She wrote the book
to introduce Adam to the father he would never meet.
Transcending religion, race and nationality, Mariane’s
courageous desire to rise above the bitterness and hatred that
continues to plague this post 9/11 world, serves as the purest
expression of the joy of life she and Danny shared.
Starring Academy AwardŽ winner Angelina Jolie (Girl,
Interrupted) as Mariane Pearl, and Dan Futterman,
OscarŽ-nominated for his Capote screenplay, as Daniel Pearl, A
Mighty Heart is directed by Michael Winterbottom (The Road to
Guantanamo, Tristram Shandy) and produced by Brad Pitt and Dede
Gardner for Plan B Entertainment (Year of the Dog, THE Departed)
and Andrew Eaton for Revolution Films (The Road to Guantanamo).
John Orloff (BAND OF BROTHERS) wrote the screenplay.
To celebrate the release of A Mighty Heart, at cinemas
everywhere now (Cert 15), we have 5 copies of the book by
Marianne Pearl to give away.
