An intimate portrait of one of the 20th century’s greatest leaders.
FRONTLINE presents the story of the man behind the myth, probing Mandela’s character, leadership and life’s method through intimate recollections of friends, political allies, adversaries, and his fellow prisoners and jailers on Robben Island, where Mandela spent 18 of his 27 prison years, transforming himself in prison from an impetuous, risk-taking radical into a mature leader and statesman.
“… the definitive television biography of Mandela.”KPBS
