- Synopsis:
A look at the extraordinary life of Nelson Mandela and his quest for a nation's freedom. Frontline tells the story of the man behind the myth, examining Mandela's character, leadership and transformation in prison from a risk-taking radical into a mature leader and statesman. Through intimate recollections with friends, political allies, adversaries and his fellow prisoners and jailers on Robben Island, this documentary also presents analysis from Mandela's biographers, Richard Stengel and Anthony Sampson, illuminating not only what separates Mandela from ordinary men, but also what makes him like the rest of us. This two-hour biography is filled with insights from Mandela's noble upbringing in the rural Transkei where his values and attitudes were shaped by tradition and royal prerogative to old colleagues' anecdotes about his self-discipline, guarded privacy, and quite early sense of his own historic destiny. The programme also examines Mandela's electric relationship with Winnie Madikizela Mandela and chronicles Mandela's negotiations with the increasingly embattled white rulers of South Africa. - Actors:
