• Malala Yousafzai became famous in 2012 as the girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban at the age of 15. Her crime: she wanted to go to school. This hour-and-a-half-long documentary follows the now-18 year old advocate of women’s education around the world, and the youngest-ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize last year. Director David Guggenheim takes us through the life of the exceedingly smart and courageous Malala and her supportive, playful family as they adjust to their new home of England where they relocated to in 2013. He shows us a side of Malala we rarely get to see – that of an ordinary teenager who gets nervous in front of a crowd, and crushes on Shane Watson. Colourful animation sequences vividly depict episodes from her family’s past, and appear as a stark contrast to the horrors they’ve had to face over the years. A definite crowd-pleaser, this uplifting film will leave you feeling inspired.
