The movie follows Malala’s story from her early beginnings and her namesake’s title from the heroine, Malala, in the war for Afghanistan’s independence, her home in Swat Valley, her parents’ influence, and life after recovery and attention on a wider global stage.

While many in the United States take their public education for granted, education around the world often seems to be only for the privileged and even exclusive for only the male gender. Girls are expected to be unschooled, marry early and start raising a family at a young age.

They are expected to be deferent to their husbands and dependent on their husband for their daily subsistence and income. Education in this context means having more options in life, the skills, and educational background to pursue their dreams and careers, and being able to also become financially independent.
