He Called Me Malala sees Davis Guggenheim return to the director's chair for his first big screen documentary since From the Sky Down back in 2011.
Guggenheim has made some terrific documentaries during his career, including An Inconvenient Truth, It Might Get Loud, and Waiting for Superman, and I can't wait to see what he delivers with this latest feature film.
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 (she turns 18 this July) 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 as co-founder of the Malala Fund.
He Named Me Malala is released Autumn 2015.
