Against the backdrop of another busy day for Nelson Mandela, this program traces his biography up to the point when he was convicted of treason and began serving a life sentence in a South African jail. Among many exclusive interviews are Walter Sisulu, the colleague and African National Congress leader who spotted Mandela’s tremendous potential; George Bizos, Mandela’s defense lawyer and friend; and Fidel Castro, who supported Mandela and the ANC in their struggle against the apartheid regime. A BBCW Production. (51 minutes)
