Hang on to your hankies: a sneak peek at a documentary on Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai's life is making the rounds, and it's incredibly inspiring.

Watch it here:

The documentary, titled He Named Me Malala, is directed by documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, who was behind An Inconvenient Truth and Waiting for "Superman". The documentary shows us how Malala, her father Zia and her family are committed to fighting for education worldwide after Malala was shot in the head by the Taliban at 14.

"There's a moment when you have to choose whether to be silent or to stand up," says Malala in the documentary, talking of her unwavering commitment to supporting girls' education.

"I am those 66 million girls who are deprived of education," says Malala. "I am not a lone voice. I am many. And our voices are our most powerful weapons."

The sneak peek also shows us that the documentary will take us behind the scenes to Malala's lesser-seen family life — we'll get to hear from her brothers, her friends and more. "She's a little bit naughty," says Malala's brother at one point.

Later, Malala confesses: "If I had an ordinary father and an ordinary mother, then I would have two children now."

She also admits that she finds coursework in her new school difficult, and that she admires Rodger Federer.

Despite everything, Malala says she misses her home in Pakistan. "I miss the dirty streets, I miss the river, I miss my friends." she says. Of her old family home, she says: "I just want to see that house, just once.

The documentary appears to feature her father prominently. Malala has said that her father has been instrumental in her activism and her struggle to support girls education.

Last night Malala appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to talk about the documentary. She previously appeared on The Daily Show in 2013, when she impressed Stewart with her confidence and a lecture on pacifism.

According to The Malala Fund on social media, the documentary is set to be released in October.
