Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for spy-story fans and politics junkies. Nobody is quite who they seem. Fans of I Am Not Your Negro or 13th should feel right at home. Power and ambition drive every scene.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 58 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

A documentary that chronicles the life of South African leader Nelson Mandela. Mandela is probably best known for his 27 years of imprisonment, and for bringing an end to apartheid. But this film also sheds light on the little-known early period of Mandela's life.
