Now a Nobel Prize laureate (the youngest ever) and a leading advocate for children’s rights across the globe, Davis Guggenheim’s (Waiting for “Superman”) documentary offers an intimate portrait of an incredibly courageous young woman, balancing her passionate activism with the everyday demands of being both an ordinary, and extraordinary teenage girl.
