"Jedno dieťa, jeden učiteľ, jedna kniha a jedno pero môžu zmeniť svet." Malala Keď Taliban prevzal vládu nad údolím Svát v Pakistane, jedno malé dievča sa odvážilo nahlas protestovať. Malala Jusafzaiová odmietla dať sa umlčať a bojovala za právo na vzdelanie pre seba aj ostatné dievčatá. V utorok 9. októbra 2012, keď mala pätnásť rokov, takmer za to zaplatila životom.

Ako šestnásťročná sa stala symbolom mierového protestu a najmladšou laureátkou na Nobelovu cenu za mier v histórii. Volám sa Malala je pozoruhodný príbeh rodiny trpiacej globálnym terorizmom.

Príbehom odvážnych rodičov, ktorí nesmierne milujú svoju dcéru v spoločnosti, čo si cení len synov. Je to príbeh o tom, ako hlas jednotlivca môže inšpirovať zmenu vo svete.
