About Malala Fund: Malala Fund is a non-profit organization that empowers girls globally through education to achieve their potential and be agents of change in their communities.

For more information, please visit www.malala.org. About HE NAMED ME MALALA: 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 (who turned 18 this July) was singled out, along with her father, for advocating for girls’ education. 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. In the film, acclaimed documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (, Waiting for Superman) shows how Malala, her father Zia and her family are committed to fighting for education for all girls worldwide. HE NAMED ME MALALA gives 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 United Nations in 2013, to her everyday life with her parents and two younger brothers.
