He Named Me Malala will be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Davis Guggenheim’s much anticipated feature doc, produced by Image Nation, tells the story of Malala Yousafzai who was shot by the Taliban after speaking out about educational rights for girls in her homeland of Pakistan.

Malala went on to become the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 at the age of just 17. She continues to campaign for the rights of women and girls across the world.

The Toronto International Film Festival runs from September 10 – 20 and is the leading public film festival in the world, screening more than 300 films from 60+ countries. For more information, see http://tiff.net/festivals
