Summary:
Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison for standing up for what he believed. Slowly, from the remote prison in South Africa's Robben Island, he galvanized the world around his struggle to end apartheid. When Mandela was released from prison he entered a world that had been profoundly shaped by his dream. His story is told through the eyes of ten people that were inspsired by that dream, people such as F.W. DeKlerk, former Prime Minister of South Africa, former racist and prison guard, Christo Brand and Mandela's daughter Zindzi who continues her father's legacy through her work with the children of South Africa.
