Malala partners with Apple to produce dramas, comedies, documentaries

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai is expanding her partnership with Apple Inc. to produce dramas, children’s series, animation and documentaries that will air on the tech giant’s streaming service, the two said on March 8. “I hope that through this partnership, I will be able to bring new voices” to Apple TV+, Yousafzai told reporters. “I hope that through me, more young people and girls will watch these shows, get inspired.” Apple produced a documentary about Yousafzai in 2015 and teamed up with her Malala Fund in 2018 to promote high school education to girls across the globe. In 2012, a Taliban gunman shot Yousafzai in the head because she campaigned against the Taliban’s efforts to deny women education. She survived the injury and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, the youngest person to win the prize. (Reuters) This article was provided by The Japan Times Alpha.
