He Named Me Malala Movie Review

While most of He Named Me Malala works, it would have been an even more effective film had Guggenheim desisted, among other things, from overlaying the film with an obtrusive background score aimed at underscoring its emotional content – and intent. In He Named Me Malala, the Oscar-winning Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) leans at times towards the manipulative and overly reverential. But such is the power of the story that it is easy not to be put off by the minor glitches in its telling. He Named Me Malala is a must-see for anybody who cares about the world and the cause the protagonist stands for.

A poignant tale molded with an interesting narrative and outlook. It isn’t everyday that you get to see the tale of the world’s youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner, who has the intrepidity to say and mean the words, “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world”. This is a recommended watch for children; to inspire them and show them a world completely different from what they probably know.
