The documentary "He Named Me Malala" is a testament to the courage of this Pakistani activist, the youngest person ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2012, at age 15, Malala, already known as an advocate for women's education in Muslim countries, was shot by a Taliban gunman and left in critical condition. Other domestic scenes - such as back-and-forth teasing with her brothers - offer a nice counterpoint to footage of her advocacy work, meeting President Barack Obama, appearing on TV shows around the world, speaking to the United Nations and writing a popular memoir, "I Am Malala."
