Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai was targeted by the Taliban and severely wounded by a gunshot when returning home on her school bus in Pakistan’s Swat Valley. The then 15-year-old (she turned 18 this July) was singled out, along with her father, for advocating for girls’ education, and the attack on her sparked an outcry from supporters around the world. She miraculously survived and is now a leading campaigner for girls’ education globally as co-founder of the Malala Fund.
“Davis Guggenheim’s latest documentary is a forceful and exquisitely made piece of advocacy journalism.”
– Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
“While the subject is deeply moving — and bringing tissues is recommended — Guggenheim’s treatment is restrained, as he deploys inventive storytelling techniques that invite viewers inside Malala’s world, to feel her joy, trauma and ultimately forgiveness.”
– Rebecca Keegan, Los Angeles Times

THE BLACK PANTHERS: VANGUARD OF THE REVOLUTION
- Director: Stanley Nelson
- Genre(s): Documentary
- Rating: Not Rated
- Running Time: 113 min.
This documentary tells the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party, one of the 20th century’s most alluring and controversial organizations that captivated the world’s attention for nearly 50 years.“What is clear from this sober yet electrifying film is that the power of the Panthers was rooted in their insistence — radical then, radical still — that black lives matter.”
– A.O. Scott, NY Times
“It’s clear that the Panther legacy lives on, and Nelson’s film is a necessary primer for understanding the party — in it’s own words.”
– Katie Walsh, The Playlist
“What we see in Stanley Nelson’s urgent and necessary documentary The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution is the story of an organization that meant many different things to many different people, and that changed so dramatically during five years or so in the national spotlight that it could almost be described as reshaping itself month by month and putting forward a distinctive face at almost every moment.”
– Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com
“It’s a strong reminder of the times, then and now.”
– Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
