The documentary starts off with an animation featuring Malala, which specifically teaches the viewers about being better activists by taking inspiration from historical events and previous activists. As the Afghans were running away in fear from the British, a girl who was wearing bright pink clothes, caught the audiences attention. As she saw the Afghans running away, hopeless and scared, she ran to the top of the mountain and raised her voice saying, It is better to live like a lion for one day than to live like a slave for a hundred years. Malala with her strong voice motivated the Afghans and led everyone back onto the battlefield, but unfortunately, she died from a gunshot. The animation helps the audience understand the fear the Afghans were enduring it felt as if the audience, to some extent, comprehended the emotional burdens and anxiety the civilization as a whole were experiencing. Malalas bravery not only inspired the Afghans but guided the audience in their realization that all we need is motivation, especially in todays political climate. This prehistoric war taught younger generations, such as Malalas family, that anyone can be brave enough to stand up for what they believe in. Even though there are so many activists out there fighting for what they believe in, it helps more people to do the same exact thing.
The tragedy Malala had experienced helps create a sense of sympathy for the viewer, causing them to understand more, as Malala is being taken to the hospital. This was specifically observed in the hospitalization scene where the people of Pakistan were holding posters of Malala, praying that she would survive showing that the people of Pakistan admired
her bravery. Sympathy and admiration circulated around the neighboring countries, and eventually the whole world. During the scene when everyone was praying for Malala to survive, in the background a newscaster said, Now millions of people around the world are watching to see if she will die for her cause. Although most individuals are aware about the incident, it teaches everyone a lesson about how a young girl was willing to sacrifice her life for what she believed in despite being threatened every day by the Taliban. Normally, if someone were to get shot in the head and nearly almost died they would be scarred for the rest of their lives and hide away from those that can hurt them again. It took a lot of courage for Malala to not hide and use her pain as a means to change the world. After Malalas recovery she went on the news to inspire her audience and still continued to focus on giving every woman a good education they deserve. Towards the end of the documentary during Malalas speech she mentioned, They thought that the bullet would silence us, but nothing changed except this: weakness, fear, and hopelessness died. Strength, power, and courage were born. I am the same Malala. Malala believes that in order for her to become a strong activist, she would never let fear, weakness, and hopelessness hinder her pursuit of helping other young women receive an education. Malalas goal is to inspire everyone to start being brave and courageous enough to stand up for what they believe in. Not only that, Malala wants the audience to understand that it is okay for all of us to have that fear, but we all need to have faith that will achieve our goals to help make the world a better place.
