From acclaimed director Davis Guggenheim comes an intimate and powerful portrait of Malala Yousafzai, the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. The documentary delves beyond the headlines of the Taliban's assassination attempt, exploring the origins of her fearless activism. It reveals how her father, Ziauddin, inspired her name from a legendary Afghan heroine and nurtured her passion for education, setting her on a collision course with extremism in her native Swat Valley. The film weaves together stunning animation, poignant home videos, and present-day vérité footage as Malala navigates her extraordinary global advocacy alongside the ordinary challenges of being a teenager in a new country. This moving story examines the profound bond between father and daughter, the high cost of courage, and one girl's unwavering voice that sparked a worldwide movement for the right to learn.
