He Named Me Malala Movie Review
Malala Yousafzai, the courageous Pakistani girl shot by the Taleban in 2012, would be inspiring. But, if Davis Guggenheim’s documentary is anything to go by, it is possible to make one that fawns unnecessarily over its subject.
He Named Me Malala is inspired by Malala’s autobiography I am Malala, and tells the story of her childhood in the Swat Valley, becoming an anonymous teenage blogger for the BBC and an activist fighting for woman’s education, and her British-based life after her miraculous recovery from an assassination attempt.
The film begins with a painterly and poetic animation, telling the story of legendary Afghanistani heroine Malala, who united outnumbered Pashtun fighters in a battle against British invaders during the late 19th century. While Malala resists comparisons with this heroic tale, it’s hard to ignore Guggenheim’s intention to turn her into a 21st century legend.
Better still are the moments at home with her two brothers — who steal every scene they are in — that remind us Malala is a normal teenage girl, facing the pressure of school exams just like her peers, and with a Google search history that includes Brad Pitt, Roger Federer and Pakistani cricket players.
As the title suggests, this is also the story of Malala’s father, a liberal teacher who overcame a speech impediment to become outspoken as anti-Taleban.
Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) shows us the numerous sides of his subject; a woman recovering from a horrific crime, a teenage girl growing up with her close-knit family, and a young woman who has become a beacon for humanity and forgiveness.
All this involves a few too many shots of his subject receiving awards and meeting famous people, however Malala Yousafzai is an extraordinary woman and, no matter how her story is presented, it’s most definitely worth hearing.
