'He Named Me Malala' - Movie Review
'He Named Me Malala'
U; Documentary
Director: Davis Guggenheim
Cast: Malala Yousafzai, Ziauddin Yousafzai, Toor Pekai Yousafzai
Rating: 
The world’s youngest Nobel laureate, Malala Yousafzai, is the subject of this mostly superfluous documentary by Davis Guggenheim. The young women’s activist from Pakistan who endured severe beatings and several more attempts on her life for her outspoken advocating of equal education rights is an inspiring figure – no doubt about that. But Guggenheim, despite his noble intentions, doesn’t manage to get beneath the surface and try to present a portrait of a real person. Instead what we get is purely superficial profiling that merely ends up as an assemblage of well know facts that have made it to the headlines of major newspapers and television screens world over.
