SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
On January 23, 2002, Mariane Pearl's world changed forever.
Her husband Daniel, 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 murder 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.
