When the then 15-year-old teenager had been targeted for speaking out on behalf of girls’ education in her region of Swat Valley in Pakistan, she was shot in the head, sparking international media outrage. An educational activist in Pakistan, Yousafzai has since emerged as a leading campaigner for children’s rights worldwide and, in December 2014, became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.

The global He Named Me Malala broadcast premieres Monday, February 29th at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST.

HE NAMED ME MALALA 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 and co-founder of the Malala Fund.

Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting for Superman) 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.
