Wendy Crewson
Oscar
winner Hudson takes on the formidable task of portraying Winnie Mandela, a
fearless icon of the South African struggle ... but by no means an angel. The
film pulls no punches, and was met with anger from some political quarters,
where it was seen as a betrayal of her legacy.
During
Nelson Mandela’s 27 years in prison, Winnie Mandela became one of the most
powerful symbols of the fight for freedom in South Africa. She was revered as
the “Mother of the Nation”. It came as a shock to millions when her dark side
was revealed. Rating16VL.
