Synopsis :
The movie accounts the courageous journey of the family of Ziauddin Yousafzai, when Swat Valley was seized by Taliban gunmen in 2009 and Sharia law was imposed upon its people. Ziauddin Yousafzai`s daughter, Malala Yousafzai, chose to speak against the world`s most dangerous terrorist organisation via her blogs on the BBC Urdu website under the pseudonym Gul Makai, against the oppression faced by them in the Swat Valley.
Malala spoke out for the rights of girls, especially the right to receive a complete education, her activism gaining worldwide recognition and support. Even though her father was a more active voice against the Taliban, they chose Malala to mark their opposition to girl`s education. But the Taliban failed and Malala Yousafzai survived. Today the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner has become the voice and force for education for all women across the world.
