During her speech at Variety’s Power of Women event, the 25-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate said that Muslim actors only make up one per cent of popular television series leads.
“I learned that Asian people like me make up less than four per cent of leads in Hollywood films,” she said. “Muslims are 25 per cent of the population, but only one per cent of characters in popular TV series.

Yousafzai recently launched her film production career with three projects for Apple.

Malala Yousafzai – activist, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and self-confessed “Stranger Things” fan – is in production on her first project for Apple, ‘Variety’ has revealed. Her production company Extracurricular has partnered with the indie studio A24 for a still-untitled feature documentary on the legendary “haenyeo” society of fisherwomen, who live on South Korea’s Jeju Island.
The Apple Original Films title is directed by Peabody Award nominee Sue Kim (“The Speed Cubers”) and is the first project to go into production from Extracurricular’s partnership with Apple TV+, which was struck in March 2021, notes ‘Variety’.
Malala unveiled her first slate of film and TV projects for Apple TV+ through Extracurricular on Monday.
Headlining the slate is the feature film adaptation of Elaine Hsieh Chou’s acclaimed book “Disorientation”, which was published earlier this year. A sharp-edged, celebrated satire, “Disorientation” is about a college student’s revealing dissertation on a young poet.
