HE NAMED ME MALALA is
an intimate portrait of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai,
who was targeted by the Taliban and severely wounded by a gunshot when
returning home on her school bus in Pakistan’s Swat Valley. The then
15-year-old was singled out, along with her father, for advocating for
girls’ education, and the attack on her sparked an outcry from
supporters around the world. She miraculously survived and is now a
leading campaigner for girls’ education globally as co-founder of the
Malala Fund.
Acclaimed
documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting
for Superman) shows us how Malala, her father Zia and her family are
committed to fighting for education for all girls worldwide. The film
gives us an inside glimpse into this extraordinary young girl’s life –
from her close relationship with her father who inspired her love for
education, to her impassioned speeches at the UN, to her everyday life
with her parents and brothers.
He Named Me Malala is 88 minutes of purity, inspiration, and riveting openness to social change. The documentary is mixed media with cartoon scenes as well as interviews with Malala's beautiful family. It will inspire students to appreciate the value of education.
