How Winnie Mandela went from innocent country girl to a fighter against apartheid.
En 1964, en Pretoria (Sudáfrica), Nelson Mandela fue encarcelado debido a su valiente lucha contra la segregación racial (apartheid). Su esposa Winnie buscó entonces el apoyo de la población negra para liberar a su marido, objetivo que alcanzó 18 años después, gracias a la colaboración del líder De Klerk.
Película basada en el libro de John Carlin "El factor humano" (Playing the enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed the World) y ambientada después de que Nelson Mandela saliera de la cárcel y se convirtiera en presidente de Sudáfrica. Poco después, en 1995, el país celebró el campeonato del mundo de rugby, tras años de ser excluidos de las competiciones debido al apartheid. Evento que Mandela (Morgan Freeman) impulsó y utilizó, con la ayuda de la estrella de rugby Francois Pienaar, como vía para acabar con el odio y la desconfianza existente durante décadas entre la población blanca y negra del país.
Singer Paul Simon and several African musicians perform a concert to benefit victims of apartheid in South Africa.
James Gregory es el guardián de prisión a cargo de Nelson Mandela, desde su encarcelación en los años 60 hasta su liberación en 1990. Durante 25 años, Gregory, sudafricano blanco, se ocupa de Mandela día tras día, convirtiéndose también en su confidente.
The time is the late '80s, a crucial period in the history of South Africa. President P.W. Botha is hanging on to power by a thread as the African National Congress (ANC) takes up arms against apartheid and the country tumbles toward insurrection. A British mining concern is convinced that their interests would be better served in a stable South Africa and they quietly dispatch Michael Young, their head of public affairs, to open an unofficial dialogue between the bitter rivals. Assembling a reluctant yet brilliant team to pave the way to reconciliation by confronting obstacles that initially seem insurmountable, Young places his trust in ANC leader Thabo Mbeki and Afrikaner philosophy professor Willie Esterhuyse. It is their empathy that will ultimately serve as the catalyst for change by proving more powerful than the terrorist bombs that threaten to disrupt the peaceful dialogue.
A drama that chronicles the life of Winnie Mandela from her childhood through her marriage and her husband's incarceration.

Since its adoption in June 1955 by the Congress movement, the Freedom Charter has been the key political document that acted as a beacon and source of inspiration in the liberation struggle against Apartheid. It was reputedly the main source that informed democratic South Africa’s liberal constitution and a constant reference point for the ruling African National Congress (ANC) and rival political parties that it spawned since 1994, all claiming the Freedom Charter’s legacy. Freedom Isn’t Free assesses the history and role of the charter, especially in relation to key political and socio-economic aspects of developments in South Africa up to the present period. It includes rare archival footage with interviews of a cross-section of outspoken influential South Africans.
