so it shows they re clearly backed up to the edge and they re on the defensive and as you see from the video this week in pakistan, the country has come out in widespread unanimous support in favor of malala and that s something we didn t see when politicians, three prominent politicians were assassinated in pakistan last year. there was more of a divided reaction. adam, the taliban is also threatening to kill pakistani journalists who cover this story. how dangerous was it for you to be doing what you did with malala? well, those were really dangerous times. and the only reason that i was able to realize this film, well, several reasons. one of course is the courage of malala and her father. but i worked very closely with two incredibly courageous pakistani journalists who took tremendous risks to go into areas that had a curfew at night and where shelling was going on and i give the credit to them.
