Remarkable life story of Nelson Mandela.

This program, filmed on location across South Africa,
follows Nelson Mandela from his idyllic childhood to
young freedom fighter against the injustice of Apartheid
in South Africa, 27 years in prison, and his remarkable
ascendancy to become South Africa's first multi-racial
president.


Friends, colleagues, and leading voices of authority look at the remarkable ingredients in Mandela's personality and character that averted a bloodbath revolution and redeemed a nation from its shameful past.
