Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban last year for demanding education for girls, will be the subject of a documentary film.
Davis Guggenheim, who won an Oscar for environmental documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' in 2006, will direct the yet-to-be-titled documentary, which is slated to be released in late 2014.

According to the report, the film will be funded by Image Nation Abu Dhabi, a subsidiary of government-owned Abu Dhabi Media.
