You already knew the Malala documentary was going to the most emotional thing you watched this year, didn’t you? Well, now there’s a new trailer to prove it.
The trailer opens with the filmmaker talking to Malala’s father about where her name came from (she’s named after Malalai of Maiwand, an Afghan warrior woman who helped bring Afghanistan to independence from the British and was killed in battle).
‘You named her after a girl who spoke out and was killed,’ he says. ‘It’s almost as if you said, “She’ll be different”.
‘You’re right,’ agrees her father, who looks unbelievably proud.
The footage shows Malala playing with her family, teaching her dad about Twitter (it’s about the same as what happens when you try to teach your dad about Twitter), following her as she meets various heads of states and gives inspiring speeches around the world.
According to Malala, she wants ‘people to learn from the experience she had’ and encourages girls around the world to ‘pick up our books and our pens. They are our most powerful weapons.’
He Named Me Malala is out in the UK November 6.
