Starring Angelina Jolie and directed by Michael Winterbottom, the film is based on the bestselling book by Mariane Pearle, telling the story of Mariane’s husband, Daniel Pearle, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan.

Like so many Winterbottom films, it is powerful, thought provoking and unflinching.
