He Named Me Malala

An intimate portrait of Malala Yousafzai, who, as a 15-year-old teenager, was shot in the head by the Taliban for speaking out on behalf of girls' education in Pakistan's Swat Valley.

The film depicts Malala at home with her parents and brothers, and shows what she went through directly following the attack.
