Synopsis

Here is Nelson Mandela the statesman, the prisoner, the father, sometimes the joker, and occasionally the disciplinarian. Mandela is shown in snapshot, in the memories of old friends like George Bizos, in the words of inspiring legends like Muhammed Ali, leading the Defiance Campaign against apartheid laws, or doing the famous Madiba shuffle to Ladysmith Black Mambazo with Queen Elizabeth II. 100 Mandela Moments is an accessible introduction to the man who so profoundly influenced the South Africa of today. The story of his life that emerges is as varied and complex, as touching and inspiring, as Madiba himself.
