Nelson Mandela's personal archive will be used in a doc series from Mandla Dube about the South African President.
A five-part doc series exploring the life of late South African President and freedom fighter Nelson Mandela is being readied with his personal archivists providing material. Directed by South African director Mandla Dube, the series will focus on Mandela’s extraordinary life and specifically the dramatic 1984-1994 period, known as the ‘deadly decade’ during which thousands died in political violence. Mandela began the ‘deadly decade’ imprisoned for life for conspiring to overthrow the state, but was freed in 1990 and went on to establish the country’s first democratic elections in 1994, winning the vote and subsequently leading as President until 1999.
