Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize winner, will be among those who are invited to attend the Oscar Nominees Luncheon, as per The Hollywood Reporter. The event, a gathering that precedes the main Academy Awards ceremony, will take place on February 13. She will be at the event because she is an executive producer on Joshua Seftel's short film Stranger at the Gate, which has scored a nomination for an Academy Award in the Best Documentary Short Film category. The 29-minute film tells the story of a former US Marine from Indiana, US, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He suffers from PTSD and turns into an Islamophobe on his return to America.&nbsp;

He orchestrates an attack on a local mosque but has a change of heart when he intermingles with the community and is welcomed.

Malala Yousafzai earned the admiration of the world when as a 17-year-old female education activist&nbsp;she was shot in the head by a terrorist from Tehreek-e-Taliban-e-Pakistan (or Pakistani Taliban) in the Swat District of Pakistan. She was rushed to a hospital and later was flown to Birmingham, England for treatment at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. She recieved an outpouring of support from around the world and survived. Post the assassination attempt, the Pakistani Taliban was condemned by 50 Muslim clerics in a fatwa, world governments, feminist activists, and human rights organisations.
