Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom - It Is An Ideal For Which I Am Prepared To Die
Nelson is a young South African lawyer fighting cases for the black, helping them get justice in a biased system. His charisma and popularity encourages the African National Congress to draw him into their folds.
He becomes a part of the civil rights movement, but when the peaceful protesters are massacred by the police, the movement becomes violent. Soon afterwards Nelson ends up in jail in a remote island, where he spends many years.
His wife meanwhile takes leadership of the group and leads the 'Free Nelson Mandela movement'.
Rating: Yellow - a decent time-pass. Somehow, just didn't feel real - not sure if its the acting or the storytelling, but at no point in the movie did I feel completely immersed in it.
PS: As is usual with real-life based movies, specially period movies, this movie may also have errors in places, some unintentional, and some intentional as the makers might have taken creative freedom.
