A new documentary hit the theaters this week by the name of 'He Named Me Malala' which tells us about the journey 18-year-old Malala Yousafzais' went through to becoming the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner. This documentary will bring you right into the world of Malala, causing you to feel a whole range of emotions in an hour and a half. Standing up for girls education in Pakistan, Malala was shot in the head by The Taliban. She doesn't use her story to gain sympathy or to get what she wants, she uses it to gain supporters on causes that matter.
Malala is an inspiration to so many young girls. She stands up for what she believes in and tries to make a difference in the world. I think its amazing she gets her own documentary to further educate people on not only her life but the causes she's working for such as empowering young girls through education. Its also amazing that people are referring to her as a heroine, because she really is. She is a perfect role model for any young child, being brave, humble, sensitive and peaceful. As a student I realize that anyone can do anything to benefit the world. As a filmmaker it opens the door to so many different types of genres of movies I could be filming.
Now, I wonder, how does Malala feel about all the support she's getting? We live in a world now where keeping up with causes, making donations, spreading the word online etc. is so much easier, has this helped Malala raise awareness about causes she's fighting for?
This is so inspirational and I give props to her for being so brave. I feel like media and things probably have made telling her story a lot easier and made it easier to be influential to kids all around the world.
