A special preview of Episode One of the new documentary series Free Nelson Mandela, which tells the story behind the remarkable release of Nelson Mandela, following decades in captivity.
The image of Nelson Mandela walking free from prison after 27 years is one of the most iconic moments in late 20th-century history. It was the outcome of a fierce political struggle and cultural battle to bring about the end of Apartheid. With access to those who fought for his freedom and the people at the heart of the anti-Apartheid movement, Free Nelson Mandela captures this era-defining moment.
