Synopsis
The day Nelson Mandela died, millions of South Africans took to the streets to celebrate his life. But now that their icon is gone, what will become of his legacy? From a family struggling to survive in their crime-ridden township neighbourhood to the inspiring story of a former Robben Island inmate who started a new life after years of torture and imprisonment during Apartheid: This documentary takes the viewer on a journey to a South Africa full of contrasts and seemingly unbridgeable divides, so close yet so far from the country’s famous beaches, safari parks and tourist attractions.
