Summary of Reconciliation: Mandela's Miracle
When apartheid ended in South Africa, the threat of catastrophic civil war loomed behind the celebration. The country’s black majority had been oppressed for 80 years under the governance of white Afrikaners, often suffering terrible brutality. The only hope for the nation lay with a man who had been imprisoned for decades: Nelson Mandela.
Reconciliation chronicles Mandela’s career as head of the African National Congress, his 27-year stint in prison, his release and his ascension to leadership of a postapartheid nation. Through archival footage and interviews with such key figures as Archbishop Desmond Tutu and former president F.W. de Klerk, this moving documentary reveals how the hardships Mandela endured prepared him to guide his country through dangerous times and bring its disparate peoples together. Woven into the story are interviews with Clint Eastwood, whose 2009 drama Invictus tells the story of how South Africa’s rugby team, with a nation united behind them, triumphed in the 1995 World Cup.
