Long Walk, Lost Years

Engrossing Biopic

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is a biopic of the first president of South Africa.

Fighting Apartheid

Imprisoned under the imperialistic Botha and some part of the DeKlerk regimes, this lawyer turned freedom fighter was kept in prison  in a remote island along with the pioneers of the ANC. For many years he lost touch of the goings-on, the growing up of his children, the death of his mother and son and the violent manner in which freedom fighters fought against apartheid.

Charismatic Leding

In his absence, his  wife, Winnie carried on the fight and she too was imprisoned for the cause.

In His Cell

Quite a good movie with excellent acting by Idris Elba as Mandela and Naomie Harris as Winnie.
