He Named Me Malala

Spoiler-free Movie Review of He Named Me Malala:

Review by my daughter, Moira!

Malala is an inspiring story about a girl who was shot fighting for girls right to education. The doctors said she would survive, but be disabled, or not the same. However she comes back just the same, and spreads the word about her story and her goal. I would recommend this for kids 13+ because there are some graphic images although they do not show the attack, they do show the blood in the vehicle she was in and some prep for the surgery she undergoes. It does change your life, and I highly recommend to anyone, not just girls and women.
