TED Talk: To learn is to be free | Shameem Akhtar
This TED Talk could be viewed as a narrative essay in video format! In this TED Talk:
"Shameem Akhtar posed as a boy during her early childhood in Pakistan so she could enjoy the privileges Pakistani girls are rarely afforded: to play outside and attend school. In an eye-opening, personal talk, Akhtar recounts how the opportunity to get an education altered the course of her life -- and ultimately changed the culture of her village, where today every young girl goes to school."
