Malala Yousafzai has accomplished a lot in her young life, but in new exclusive photos from the documentary He Named Me Malala, we see a different side of the Nobel Peace Prize winner. These revealing pictures illustrate what everyday life is like for 18-year-old Malala as she spends time at home with her family and goes to school, all the while remaining an activist for education and civil rights. (Our favorite photo of the bunch shows Malala gleefully challenging one of her little brothers to an arm-wrestling match.) He Named Me Malala, which explores both the ordinary and extraordinary moments in Malala's life, hits theaters in NYC and LA on Oct. 2 and nationwide on Oct. 9.

Malala takes a car ride in Birmingham, England, where her family has lived since she was shot on a school bus in Pakistan in 2012.

Malala arm wrestles with her brother Khushal at home in England.

Malala's father, Zia, reads as director David Guggenheim and director of photography Erich Roland film him for He Named Me Malala.

Malala watches documentary footage on the couch with her little brother Atal, the director, Zia, and her mother, Toor Pekai.
