Okay.
Before l was born...
when l was in the tummy

my father would always
say a tappa, a Pashtun story.
lf you look
at the world map...
on the east side, you can find
a country called Afghanistan.
Long ago, it had a fight
with another country
called England.
The Afghan people,
they were losing hope.
And a teenager
saw the fighters running away.
She goes up to the mountain.
She raised her voice.
(SPEAKS OTHER LANGUAGE)
Which simply means...
it is better to live
like a lion for one day...
than to live like a slave
for a hundred years.
She encouraged the people
of Afghanistan.
(HORSE WHINNYING)

She led the army
to a great victory.
But she was shot...
and she died
on that battlefield.
Her name was Malalai.
When l was in coma,
l had these terrible dreams.
And l was thinking
that l was dead.
NEWSCASTER 1:
Lying near death...
NEWSCASTER 2:
A 15-year-old was shot
for standing up
to the Taliban.
NEWSCASTER 3: Tonight, Malala

NEWSCASTER 4: She was shot
in the head by the Taliban...
for daring to suggest
girls should go to school.
NEWSCASTER 5: Now millions
around the world
are watching to see...
if she will die for her cause.
MALALA: When l opened
my eyes...
l did not know where l was.
l realized
that this is not my country.
And l thought, ''No one knows
what's my name. ''
l saw nurses and doctors.
DR. REYNOLDS:
When she first woke up,
her first question was...
''Where's my father?''
ZIAUDDIN: We were thinking,
''What Malala
will be thinking?''
''l was a child.
You should have stopped me.
''What has happened to me

One of my friends,
the Taliban
stopped their car...
and showed them
the head of a slaughtered man.
They said, ''lf you don't

''that we're showing you...

They were not about faith.
They were about power.
ZIAUDDIN:
They are cruel people
who are misusing
the name of lslam.
They are the enemies of lslam.
They used to bring innocent
people to the square...
sometimes shoot them
in the square
and sometimes slaughter them
in the square.
They used to leave a note
on the body...
''lf you go against
the Taliban,
''this could be you tomorrow. ''
Many people, they thought
that if they speak...
they will be killed

I was feeIing that if I don't

Mmm.

even if he stammers
for one minute,
he will try to say that word.
He never stops.
The first time
you can just stop it.
And you can say
another word instead.
But my father never does that.
ZIAUDDIN: My father
was a very passionate

A fiery speaker.
The most eloquent man

He used to give sermons
in the mosque every Friday.
My father would be shouting
and speaking like just

l asked my father,
''Can you write a speech

''Oh, look. You utter
one sentence in a minute.
''You stutter, stutter,

''How will you speak

My name was announced,
l went to the podium...
l was speaking to the people

And when l ended my speech,
