A Mighty Heart  (DVD English)

It was an event that shocked the world.... Now, go behind the headlines and experience the true story you haven’t heard. International reporter Mariane Pearl (Academy Award winner* Angelina Jolie) was six months pregnant when her husband, Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl (Oscar nominee** Dan Futterman), was kidnapped by terrorists. Based on Mariane’s account of the weeks after his abduction, A Mighty Heart follows her dramatic and harrowing search for her spouse, involving Danny’s editors, U.S. authorities and diplomats, and Pakistan’s notorious Inter-Services Intelligence agency. Adapted for the screen by John Orloff (“Band of Brothers”), this important fi lm celebrates Pearl’s unfl appable belief in the power of journalism. The New York Times raved, “The movie has the metabolism of a thriller…(and) the bursting heart of a romance” (Manohla Dargis).
