Malala Yousafzai: ‘I want to become prime minister of my country’
On an overcast, anonymous morning, journalists assemble outside Claridge’s hotel in London. The plan is not to linger: a coach is to drive us to an undisclosed destination where Malala Yousafzai will be waiting. The security arrangements add edge to the existing sense of expectation at the prospect of meeting Malala Yousafzai and, in my case, her father. Malala, celebrated for her refusal to be silenced by the Taliban in her championship of girls’ education, is about to experience limelight of a different sort as a documentary about her life, He Named Me Malala, is released here. It’s an intimate, inquiring, moving film, directed by the Oscar-winning documentary-maker Davis Guggenheim, who directed An Inconvenient Truth, and it has earned a chorus of celebrity approval across the pond, where it opened earlier this month. Ellen DeGeneres, on her TV show, called Malala “incomparable, impressive, inspiring”. Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook, sees her as “proof that one person can change the world”. And to Meryl Streep she is “a modern-day folk hero”. But the film reminds us that Malala is also an ordinary girl. Hollywood is a long way from Pakistan’s Swat valley, where she was born.
