Antoine Fuqua to Direct Feature Documentary About Nelson Mandela (EXCLUSIVE)
Antoine Fuqua is directing a feature documentary about Nelson Mandela, provisionally titled 'Troublemaker: The Story Behind the Mandela Tapes.'
“Jailed for 27 years, this pioneering activist lawyer turned freedom fighter walked from prison into a country on the brink of a violent racial conflagration to become the first democratically elected president of South Africa.” Maharaj will also lend his own experience and insight to the project, shedding light on details such as how he managed to set up an illicit communication link for Mandela to be able to speak to the ANC leadership in exile. “During a time of political uncertainty and unrest around the world, this film aims to rekindle the influence of a truly great leader and show how a humble but determined lawyer became one of the greatest politicians in history,” said Landon and Bauch.
