Gul
Makai A.K.A Malala Yousafzai was 11
when she first came into attention through her heart felt diary, published on
BBC Urdu, she wrote under a pseudonym - 'Gul Makai', the name of a heroine from
a Pashtun folk tale. The blogs principle thought process was to narrate her
desire to remain in education and for other girls to have a chance to be
educated.
Her
blogs depicted life under Taliban rule from her home town of Mingora, in the
northwest region of Pakistan she affectionately calls "My Swat". H.E.
Amjad Khan’s movie Gul Makai will showcase the earlier life of Malala, and
gruesome and cruel environment the Swat Valley transformed into after Taliban
domination.
H.E.
Amjad Khan on the movie Gul Makai adds.”We hope the story of Malala Yousafzai,
reach people across the world through our film, so they realized how difficult
it is for some children to get access to education. My thought is to convey a
message that every girl or boy deserves to go to school. It’s their fundamental
right.”
He
further adds, “The movie will likewise showcase how Malala has spoken in favour
of girls education, and highlighting the atrocities of Taliban. It will also
show the support Malala reliably received and encouragement in her activism
from her parents. The idea for the blog was even that of her father Ziauddin,
who ran a local private school”.
To
get the real life story on big screen the writer Bhaswati Chakrabarty has spent
two long years in research and analysis and took another two years in penning
down the script.
