kosmasp While a documentary can have the distance approach, it would have been difficult to sell this one. This is all about feeling, all about emotion and all about emancipation. It is also about freedom and unity. About misunderstandings and clarifications. There is so much going on, that it's amazing it's not a longer movie/running time.It works on almost all these levels, people are familiar with the person (be it because of her TV appearances or her nominations). But it's still something different to see her personally or learn about her family and her father. You have to be a strong person to survive the things she has to face, but she still remains "human" (if that is a thing to say). A strong message is delivered and a powerful movie made ...

dj-shabbir-k this is the Excellent documentary i ever seen in Pakistan every body talk about Malala is fake but this documentary show us how she survive i am also from Pakistan i respect women The name Malala is a variant of Malalai, which means "sad, grieved" in Pashto. This was the name of a Pashtun woman who encouraged the Afghan forces during the 1880 Battle of Maiwand against the British. Another bearer of this name is Malalai Joya (born 1978), an activist, writer, and a former politician from Afghanistan this is the latest documentary from director David Guggenheim, best known for previous efforts such as Waiting for Superman, and It Might Get Loud. Here he tackles a difficult task, namely how to make an enticing documentary about a remarkable person, without coming across as simply wanting to 'glorify' that person. The answer, as it turns out, is quite simple: show us that person (in this case Malala) in their natural environment, and let us observe the REAL person. And then Guggenheim has another ace up his sleeve: he lets us catch glimpses (and more) of how the Taliban slowly but surely changes the Swat Valley in Pakistan, where Malala and her family lived. I must say, I was quite shocked at what I saw: the Taliban's brutality and determination knows no boundaries. As Malala (or was it her dad) observes at one point: "For the Taliban, it is not about faith, it is about power". Speaking of Malala's dad, it turns out he is quite remarkable well. I wondered why the movie wasn't simply called "I Am Malala" (her autobiography, from which the movie of course borrows), but now that I've seen it, it makes perfect sense, as this is a documentary not just about Malala but also very much about her dad. There is various remarkable archive footage in the documentary about the Taliban, her dad, and of course Malala herself. I must admit that I was worried how the makers of this documentary were going to fill an hour and a half in a way that would keep my attention. I shouldn't have worried. This is a moving documentary that, frankly, left me even more in awe of Malala than I already was. And to think this young lady is still only 18 years old as we speak! I am humbled and also a little inspired after seeing this.

eleventh-warrior I think Davis Guggenheim has no work now a days...how much money did he get for making this documentary totally on false information....In swat where malala used to live,there is no ban on girls to get educated Before malala and after malala SURPRISINGLY not a single incident of Taliban shooting girls ever taken place....i don't know why malala was attacked ...she is another ordinary girl just like all other girls and we didn't hear malala's name before...his father Ziauddin Yousafzai speaks now on TV as philosopher but as we take a look on his past ....he is not well educated or illiterate person .malala was shot on the head and here wounds often changes from time to time from left to right and right to left...she survived and along with malala there was another girl ..i cant remember her name now.. she died on the spot but BBC and CNN didn't bother to repeat her name...i think if malala is a hero then the girl who died with her her is a super hero ...we should remember her more than malala...i don't know who want to prove that the malala is warrior...and what is the benefit behind this...who is behind the malala....what they want from malala....and the people are so sentimental ...people are just like little children they absorb it as shown on media...but reality is totally different....

Irishchatter I gave this movie a go because it was uploaded only a few days ago on Putlocker and of course, I have heard a lot about Malala especially promoting for girls to have education in poorer countries. I really felt relieved that she is alive today for speaking up because rarely, people normally don't survive with a gunshot wound to their face. Fortunately, young Malala was lucky to have survived. The Taliban are crazy nutjobs just like Bako Haram, ISIS and other dangerous groups who are extremely heartless. As Malala's father has said, they basically use Islam for an excuse to bring power into destroying people's lives! Such a cruel world we are living in like Jesus!Anyways onto Malala again, I loved seeing her two brothers, they were so funny since of course, they are younger then Malala and they think they are the big guys of the family. They are like every child and teens of the world, they like to tease their siblings a lot. Thankfully my brother and I are outgrown the teasing since we are too old for that now haha! Im sure deep inside, they are very proud of their sister for winning awards and speaking out for girls like herself. She is like three years younger then me and god, i wouldn't be brave as she is. She has such a personality that you are immediately drawn to, she is a very kind, caring, intelligent, ambitious and courageous person that you could ever met in this world! I say in years time, she will be always known as the girl who escaped from war and that would mean for a lot of people who had the same experience as her!
