Reem Shaikh as Malala Yousufzai in Gul Makai.

Gul Makai showcased the courageous journey and struggle of the Nobel laureate from her humble upbringing in the Swat Valley to her becoming the champion for free education to all.

The movie is a small tribute to Malala, who is in every essence a global citizen championing a cause that transcends boundaries, caste, religion and geography.

Directed by Amjad Khan, the cast of the film includes Reem Shaikh, Divya Dutta, Mukesh Rishi, Abhimanyu Singh and Ajaz Khan.

At the age of 17, Malala became the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize after surviving an assassination attempt by the Taliban in 2012.

She founded the Malala Fund, a non-profit organisation and in 2013 co-authored I Am Malala, an international bestseller. She has continued to speak out on the importance of education.
