Angelina Jolie just finished wrapping a biopic about the Pearls. She plays Daniel's effing awesome (sorry, that's just the best way to describe her) wife, Mariane. I haven't read this from beginning to end but I have read snatches. He was a good writer. Noam Chomsky once said that "The Wall Street Journal" was where he found some of the most open and honest reporting from abroad. Daniel Peral was one of those open, honest writers.
