| | Synopsis
|
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl
spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her
right to an education.
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the
ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while
riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.
Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an
extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the
halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a
global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest-ever Nobel Peace
Prize laureate.
I Am Malala is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global
terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself
a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and
attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their
daughter in a society that prizes sons.
I Am Malala will make you believe in the power of one person's voice
to inspire change in the world.
