Angelina Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt have made a $100,000 donation to the Daniel Pearl foundation on what would have been Pearl’s 43rd birthday.
Pearl was an American journalist who was kidnapped and subsequently murdered while researching a story in Pakistan in 2002.
Pitt’s production company Plan B is currently shooting a film in India based on the life and death of Pearl and his wife Mariane’s memoirs called ‘A Mighty Heart’.
According to People magazine, Pitt and Jolie said in a statement: "On this day our thoughts go out to Danny's family,"
"The Daniel Pearl Foundation is celebrating this day, his birthday, with music festivals around the world. The festivals are a great reminder of not just Danny's work as a journalist but of his life and his love of music."
‘ A Mighty Heart’ is expected to be released in 2007.
