Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai joins the Tribeca-bound documentary “The Gymnasts of Fisherman Colony” as an executive producer.

The coming-of-age documentary, directed by Habiba Nosheen, focuses on three Pakistani girls navigating the margins of society and carving out space for themselves, one somersault at a time. “Through their intimate journeys, we witness how their passion for gymnastics begins to clash with deeply rooted expectations on what girls in Pakistan are permitted to do,” a synopsis of the film explains. “The Gymnasts of Fisherman Colony” will make its world premiere in competition at the Tribeca Festival on June 8.
