Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom

The deeply personal story of a man who consistently stood up to all odds to fight for a better life in his homeland is portrayed with powerful images. Even during his 27-year prison sentence on the notorious Robben Island prison, Nelson Mandela rose to become the charismatic leader of the anti-apartheid movement and a worldwide symbol of peaceful resistance. MANDELA: THE LONG WAY TO FREEDOM describes the emergence of a modern icon who brought about the abolition of racial segregation and thus a long-awaited political turnaround in South Africa, and is at the same time a declaration of love for a man who changed the entire world through his tireless struggle for freedom, equality and independence.
