Malala: A Girl from Paradise

Malala Yousafzai became a symbol of hope for millions of girls around the world when she stood up to the Taliban to demand her right to an education. Her friends, Shazia and Kainat, were also injured in the same attack and – unlike Malala – have remained in the Swat Valley, under constant police protection. In this film, director Mohsin Abas travelled there to meet Malala’s friends and investigate the deteriorating situation of women’s rights.
