The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It was one of the greatest documentaries I have ever seen. It really inspired me and it gave me strength to cope with reality. It is amazing to see how just one human being can change thousands of lives.

Malala, a girl who had lived in northern Pakistan, was shot in her head by Taliban for daring to suggest that girls should go to school. This may be true. But the fact is that in all over Pakistan, we still have schools, girls do go to school. People's minds are clear that education they must give to their children, to give them a hope of better future.So in the depicted story, it is just a corner plot, a way to defame Pakistan. Moreover it was said that Mullah Fazlullah was a 'Radio mullah'. I do have strong doubts about this statement. Taliban were a small group of militants. How could have they acquired the equipment to set up an FM station of their own and summon on it everyday. It takes a lot of money, access to international market and some genius mind to install it. Surely a group this conservative mind could not do this. So its easier said than done.Finally the opening quote in this film is misquoted. It was originally said by 'Tipu Sultan', a Muslim sub-continent king who said: 'It's better to live like a lion for one day, than to live like a coward for 100 years'. So a correction is required in this regard.Overall it is a misguide of quotes, facts and figures, a hype, a propaganda. Malali's family must have been paid a huge sum of money to be a part of this plot in this film. It must have been scripted by western minds to defame my country. So in real life she has played a role of traitor to her country.However, I support the cause that 'pen and book are the strong weapons'. But don't forget that today's strong weapon is MEDIA. And through this film it has tried to change the perspective of a common western person that Pakistan is full of militants of this kind, and girls are shot like Malala. But its surely not true.

I watched this movie with some trepidation, having wondered how much Malala was a product of Western media and manipulation. However, she completely won me over. I worked in education programs in Afghanistan and with Afghan refugees in Pakistan. I know firsthand the challenges that the communities in this region face, living with the horrors wrought by those who cope with their fears and insecurities by lashing out at anything they see as threatening, and living within the beautiful soul and heart of the Pashtun people and culture. Malala is a model of this spirit, as are her father, mother and brothers. I also thought the movie was beautifully made. For me the animated scenes made about parts of the story that couldn't be shown as reality were inspired. We saw what was only memory as a story, which is all it could be. Going back and forth from the present to the past made be slowly come to see how the present Malala came to be. She is smart, wise way beyond her years, funny, delightful. Spending this time with her was inspiring. Everyone who wants to understand the many faces of the human spirit, of Islam, of dedication, of human rights, should see this movie.

I gave this movie a go because it was uploaded only a few days ago on Putlocker and of course, I have heard a lot about Malala especially promoting for girls to have education in poorer countries. I really felt relieved that she is alive today for speaking up because rarely, people normally don't survive with a gunshot wound to their face. Fortunately, young Malala was lucky to have survived. The Taliban are crazy nutjobs just like Bako Haram, ISIS and other dangerous groups who are extremely heartless. As Malala's father has said, they basically use Islam for an excuse to bring power into destroying people's lives! Such a cruel world we are living in like Jesus!Anyways onto Malala again, I loved seeing her two brothers, they were so funny since of course, they are younger then Malala and they think they are the big guys of the family. They are like every child and teens of the world, they like to tease their siblings a lot. Thankfully my brother and I are outgrown the teasing since we are too old for that now haha! Im sure deep inside, they are very proud of their sister for winning awards and speaking out for girls like herself. She is like three years younger then me and god, i wouldn't be brave as she is. She has such a personality that you are immediately drawn to, she is a very kind, caring, intelligent, ambitious and courageous person that you could ever met in this world! I say in years time, she will be always known as the girl who escaped from war and that would mean for a lot of people who had the same experience as her!
