Malala Yousafzai is the most iconic and inspiration teenagers having survived an attack by the Taliban and then continued her fight for all girls to get an education.
Malala has already received the Nobel Peace Prize and is now the subject of a great new documentary, He Named Me Malala.
The movie will hit the big screen at the end of the week and we have a great new clip for you to check out. The clip sees Malala deliver a speech to the UN:
He Named Me Malala marks the return of Davis Guggenheim to the director's chair and the documentary genre.
Guggenheim has brought us movies such as An Inconvenient Truth and Waiting for Superman and I cannot wait to see what he delivers with his latest film.
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 (she turned 18 this July) 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 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 released November 6th.
