I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban

In 2009 Malala Yousafzai began writing a blog on BBC Urdu about life in the Swat Valley as the Taliban gained control, at times banning girls from attending school. When her identity was discovered, Malala began to appear in both Pakistani and international media, advocating the freedom to pursue education for all. In October 2011, gunmen boarded Malala's school bus and shot her in the face, a bullet passing through her head and into her shoulder but she survived. I AM MALALA will tell the inspiring story of a schoolgirl who faced the Taliban with courage and bravery.
