In the Rivonia Trial of 1963 and 1964 in South Africa, 10 ANC anti-apartheid activists stood trial, among them Nelson Mandela. Although all the defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment, the trial triggered a process that would ultimately lead to the abolition of apartheid. 256 hours of audio recordings of the trial were recently restored and digitized. Based on this audio archive, filmmakers Gilles Porte and Nicolas Champeaux made the feature-length documentary The State Against Mandela and the Others and this VR experience, which takes you into the courtroom to hear the testimony of ANC activist Walter Sisulu.
