This powerful film opened the Auckland and Wellington film festivals. Starring Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie as Mariane Pearl, and Dan Futterman, Oscar-nominated for his Capote screenplay, as Daniel Pearl, and directed by Michael Winterbottom . 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.

9:20pm - After Party with drinks, yummy canapés and spot prizes including: Body Tech Gym Memberships, a Peugeot Drive for a week voucher, a Beauty on Demand Voucher, a Wella Gift Basket and a Sony Buzz Hollywood Console Pack!
