Climate change, public education, presidential campaigns…and electric guitars? No topic is off limits for Davis Guggenheim, critically acclaimed filmmaker and documentarian behind such influential films as An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting for “Superman”, and It Might Get Loud. His works have changed the course of the national dialogue, bringing issues such as the failures of public education and the impending dangers of climate change to the forefront of political discussion. At his event with the IOP, Guggenheim discussed his latest project He Named Me Malala. It is an international feature-length documentary that follows the story of Malala Yousafzai, a young woman activist from Pakistan, and her father, Ziauddin, who fought against the Talibanization of their hometown Mingora, and more generally his life, the societal impact of his work, and his future projects.
