Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Rainbow Nation

"You’ll never be free until we are free," said Archbishop Desmond Tutu to the white citizens of South Africa—and thanks to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, blacks and whites alike are finally free to put down the burden of guilt and come together as one people. This program follows a busy day in the life of Nobel Laureate Tutu in 1996, which begins with a tour through his Cape Town diocese and ends with a trip to Johannesburg to greet his mentor, Trevor Huddleston, on his return to South Africa. Can post-apartheid reforms outpace the daunting challenges still facing the Rainbow Nation? (54 minutes)
