guszamperini It is very commendable that they are distributing this documentary, genre that obviously is not in liquidation. But I confess that more and more appreciable the genre and the evolution that the human being suffered (a key was the Oscar Academy rules that rejects the narratives!).

joe-debono I simply don't understand it. She was shot in the head for speaking out against the cruel, primitive, repressive, religious laws of the Taliban. She recovered and spoke against the evil.She won the Nobel Peace Prize, then went straight back to the evil religion that caused her all the pain and grief.She says: There is a moment when you have to choose whether to be silent or to stand up.She surely is brave but there's another part to that realisation... she needs to set the example, walk away from that primitive world view, walk away and leave that bronze age nonsense behind and live bravely in the real world.That would top this story off nicely.

Ramesh Khanna In a world where there is a dearth of real life role models, Malala is a shining star. She comes across as an intelligent, deep and at the same time a normal teenage girl.This is a good movie, if not great that everyone from 10 and above could see, especially children. We take so many things for granted whereas the same basic rights are completely restricted for a vast majority of others.What is somewhat disturbing is that all this attention and spotlight could potentially rob her life of the usual fun that a regular teenager would be able to enjoy...In my country/state, there was a poet "Mahakavi Bharathi" who lived some 100 years back and advocated & campaigned for women's rights and education. Malala is the equivalent of Poet Bharathi's "Pudumai Penn" (Modern Lady). Engaging and captivating movie. Malala, you are my real life Hero. I salute you!!
