TUESDAY 6th OCTOBER 2009 - BHM SHOWCASE
Great Africans: Nelson Mandela

Film info: From 1977 to 1990, the apartheid government agonised over the release of Nelson Mandela. In recounting that process, this documentary grips like a political thriller. While Prime Minister PW Botha prevaricates over meeting Mandela in person, Mandela works at persuading his fellow Rivonia trialists that negotiating with and meeting with Botha is essential. The slow-brewing “Projek Mandela” as it is called comes to fruition on 11 February 1990 when Mandela walks through the gates of Pollsmoor to freedom – and into history.
