"I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday" -

When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.
Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York.
At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.
'I am Malala' is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter in a society that prizes sons.
'I am Malala' will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.

É difícil imaginar como é viver nas condições da Malala e ainda ter forças para lutar contra o sistema! Fiquei impressionada com a força e a coragem dela, com certeza o apoio da família foi fundamental! Toda a minha admiração à eles, e principalmente ao pai dela!
Recomendo demais a quem quiser sair um pouco de sua bolha e quem sabe ver o mundo de uma nova perspectiva.
