"One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world."
– Malala
 
If you missed its run in theaters, this is your last chance to catch HE NAMED ME MALALA on the big screen!
 
Acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, the film 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 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.

Filmmaker (An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting for Superman) and television director (Deadwood, NYPD Blue) 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.
