Mandela plot

This documentary offers a remarkable opportunity to see one of the icons of the 20th century as never before, through the eyes of his own grandchildren. In a world where hardly anyone is as well known and revered as Nelson Mandela, the people who actually know him least well are those from his own family. While Mandela sacrificed his life to the freedom struggle in South Africa, he was almost a stranger to his family. First, he spent decades in prison and then, upon his release, he became the patriarchal president of a new nation. Directors Kemal Akhtar and Kweku Mandela have gathered Madiba's grandchildren and great-grandchildren around the 'Old Lion'. They are told stories of his life, triumphs and failures, his achievements and dreams, in his own words to his own family.
