Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim presents this touching portrait of the teenage girl who was targeted by the Taliban. In 2012, when she was only 15, a teenage girl by the name of Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a gunman after blogging about life under Taliban rule in Pakistan. Miraculously, she survived and went on to win the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize. This inspirational documentary tells the story of Malala and how she adjusted to her new life in Birmingham, as well as her new role on the world stage, advocating education and the rights of women.

“One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.” - Malala

This event is part of a season of film events put together by Flatpack: Assemble as part of Rugby Festival of Culture (1-17 July 2016).
