Davis Guggenheim, who joined Al Gore in his fight against global warming with the Oscar-winning "An Inconvenient Truth" and championed education with "Waiting for Superman," is now taking social action documentaries to a new level with "He Named Me Malala." The movie is a father-daughter documentary that jumps between teenager Malala, who celebrates her 16th birthday in Birmingham, England in the film--something the Taliban in her Pakistan village sought to prevent when they shot the 11-year-old in the head, rendering her comatose until doctors brought her back to consciousness--and the story of a shared outspoken activism about education for all, especially women. Her father Ziaauddin Yousafzai attended Telluride and participated in a press conference with Guggenheim moderated by Ken Burns, who eventually connected via live stream to Malala in Birmingham.
