        • SYNOPSIS

          In October 2012, at the age of fifteen, Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head while riding home on a bus in Pakistan's Swat Valley. She had been targeted by Taliban militants for her outspokenness in support of girls' education. She survived the attack and relocated with her family to England, where she continued her studies. In the meantime, she has authored the bestselling memoir I Am Malala and campaigned for girls' rights around the world.

          The film is a close-up portrait of this extraordinary teenager and her family. "He" in the title refers to Malala's father, Ziauddin, who ran a school in the Swat Valley and set an example for his daughter by standing up to the Talibans. He named her after the nineteenth century Pashtun folk hero Malalai of Maiwand, known for her bravery in battle.

          Davis Guggenheim was born in St. Louis and studied American history at Brown University. He has directed episodes of NYPD Blue, Deadwood, and 24. His documentaries include It Might Get Loud, Waiting for Superman, and From the Sky Down, all of which screened at various festivals, as well as An Inconvenient Truth, the winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary. He Named Me Malala is his latest film.
