UK star Idris Elba stars as Nelson Mandela in this beautifully told and superbly acted film about South Africa’s national hero.
From his early days as a lawyer, we follow Mandela’s political awakening and his strained first marriage, which falls apart due to his womanising tendencies.
When he meets his second wife, Winnie, a social worker and later his chief cheerleader, her journey shines through just as much as Mandela’s, as she struggles during her husband’s dark days.
