Despite being just 18, Malala Yousafzai has already had such a wealth of life experience that it made sense someone would craft a documentary about her. That someone is An Inconvenient Truth’s Davis Guggenheim, and the new trailer for He Named Me Malala is online. Check it out below.
At 15, Malala was targeted, along with her father, for advocating girls’ education. The Taliban in Pakistan shot her while she was travelling home on her school bus in the Swat Valley. Though critically injured, she survived to become a beacon of hope and strength, and continued her crusade. The attention from the attack led to her taking the campaign worldwide and co-founding the Malala Fund, which helps to spotlight girls’ education globally.
Guggenheim’s film offers a candid look at her life and the relationship with her father, the man who inspired her love for education. It chronicles not only big moments in her life – such as becoming a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and speaking at the UN – but also her experiences at home with her brothers.
He Named Me Malala will arrive in UK cinemas on October 2.
