Rock band U2 wrote the song Ordinary Love for the film, which is nominated for the 2014 Oscars. The film, which took almost twenty years to see the light, had its premiere in South Africa one week before Mandela passed away. In the latter capacity, he put an end to the apartheid in his country.
An unfinished draft of his second volume of memoirs was completed by Mandla Langa and released posthumously as Dare Not Linger: The Presidential Years (2017). At Mandela’s own request, the filmmakers provide an overall picture of his life, from his childhood in the countryside, his teenage years, 27 years in prison to his presidency of South Africa. From his childhood in a small village until his presidency of South Africa in the nineties, this poignant movie paints an honest portrait of Nelson Madiba. The autobiography Long Walk to Freedom, which chronicles his early life and years in prison, was published in 1994. We see him as a young man with a fancy for boxing, fast cars and beautiful women, but also as a talented lawyer and freedom fighter who did not shy away from armed violence to bring his political message across.
This long-awaited film was based on the autobiography of the same name about the life of Nelson Mandela. From his childhood in a small village until his presidency of South Africa in the nineties, this poignant movie paints an honest portrait of Nelson Madiba Mandela. Unique vision on the genesis of a modern icon.
