Sidney Poitier is spellbinding as Nelson Mandela in this made-for-TV drama that chronicles the leader's 27-year struggle to end apartheid. That segregation was abolished without widespread bloodletting owes much to the political maneuverings of South African president F.W. de Klerk (Michael Caine). (official distributor synopsis)
