Taliban shooting victim Malala Yousafzai and Indian child rights activist share Nobel - The Washington Post

Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani Girl shot in the head Taliban Assassins for speaking out in favor of education for Women and Young Girls in Pakistan has won the Noble Prize for Peace.

She will share the Prize with Indian (East Indian) Children's Rights Adovcate Kalash Satyarthi.

Malala survived an attempted assassination attempt in her Native Swat Valley at the age of 15. She is now 17-Years Old and youngest Nobel Prize Laureate ever to receive the Peace Prize.

After being shot in the head by Taliban Assassins, Malala and her family were flown to England, where they still live.

After her recovery from her wounds, Malala received a Standing Ovation from the United Nations General Assembly when she addressed that body.

Her courage to stand up to taliban thugs speaks volumes to character.

Malala documentary opens in the US
In 2012 the Taliban attempted to assassinate Malala Yousafzai for her outspoken advocacy of women's education. "He Named me Malala," a documentary telling the Nobel Peace Prize winner's story, has opened in US cinemas.

Davis Guggenheim knows how to spin a yarn. As the director/producer of blockbuster documentaries such as "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Waiting for 'Superman," he's transformed his critical eye into countless awards, box office triumphs and accolades. With his latest documentary, however, one can assume he didn't need to search for histrionics. The real life story of Malala Yousafzai is as engrossing as it is harrowing. "He Named me Malala" opened across cinemas in the US on Friday (02.10.2015) to mixed reviews. While the "Hollywood Reporter" proclaimed the film a "gripping story" and "eloquently told," the "New York Times" opined that the film is "primarily interested in spreading her message" and "doesn't particularly examine the price of Western superstardom."

"The Guardian" similarly laments that, as a documentary maker, Guggenheim didn't "put up much of a fight," adding that the film is at its best when it sneaks past Yousafzai's otherwise infallible composure to reveal the real girl behind the eloquent spokesperson. "Guardian" critic Catherine Shoard speaks specifically of a moment in the film where Guggenheim asks her outright whether she would ever ask a boy out on a date, to which she giggles shyly. The documentary then shows her browsing images of Brad Pitt, Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi and tennis star Roger Federer.

Malala Yousafzai was born in Pakistan's Swat Valley in 1997. By 2008, as the Taliban's influence in the region grew, she was already a known advocate for the rights of girls to an education. In 2009 she started blogging for the BBC of her own experiences under the shadow of the Taliban - who had by now outright banned the education of girls, and begun destroying schools. On October 9, 2012, a member of the Taliban borded her school bus and asked "Which one of you is Malala?" She identified herself and was shot in the head.

I have to agree with you. They gave it to Yasser Arafat, for Pete's sake.
