National Geographic will be airing a global broadcast of He Named Me Malala on Monday, February 29th at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST. Will you be watching?
About the Movie: 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 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.
Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting for Superman) shows us how Malala, her father Zia and her family are committed to fighting for education for all girls worldwide. The film gives us 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 UN, to her everyday life with her parents and brothers.

I’ve been meaning to check this one out. Hers is one impressive account, and I expect I’ll be dissolving into tears while reading the book. Thanks for reminding me, Julie 🙂 Have a beautiful weekend!

I think I’d rather read the book than see the movie. As it is i have to hide my eyes when I see tramautic or violent stuff. I am sure the book will be emotional enough for me to imagine in my mind’s eye than seeing how Hollywood makes it gorier or more horrific than it already was.
Thanks for the chance to win. I didn’t get around to reading it during Nonfiction November.

I would be terrified to have my child targeted by such a group. I want to read about this brave woman who lived through this horrid ordeal and persevered in her quest to secure education for girls.
I’m not entering the giveaway because I’ve read this and want someone else to get the pleasure of doing the same. Just wanted to say that Malala’s story is amazing and I highly recommend it. Thanks Chapter Break for having this giveaway! 🙂
