"Children don’t belong to anybody but themselves and they are entitled to their realities," says journalist Mariane Pearl in an inspirational interview by Angelina Jolie in this week's Time magazine.
Jolie portrayed Pearl in a film about the abduction and murder by terrorists of her husband, journalist Daniel Pearl, in Pakistan. She did the interview with Pearl just after authorities there overturned the convictions of four men accused in the case. Pearl, a French journalists whose book A Mighty Heart became the basis of the film, kindly served as both judge and presenter for the 2019 Global Youth & News Media Prize. Her clear dedication to both young people and journalism emerged then and does again now in this moving exchange. We strongly suggest you give it a read.
