A five-part doc series exploring the life of late South African President and freedom fighter Nelson Mandela is being readied with his personal archivists providing material.
Dogwoof has boarded Mandela: Life (working title) and will launch it the Cannes Market this month. Directed by South African director Mandla Dube, the series will focus on Mandela’s extraordinary life and specifically the dramatic 1984-1994 period, known as the ‘deadly decade’ during which thousands died in political violence.
It is being billed as “Nelson Mandela’s own story ‘in his own words, narrated in his voice’ and is being made in collaboration with the archive and research team Nelson Mandela personally authorized in 2004, Verne Harris, Razia Saleh and Sahm Venter.
They are aiming to make the most rigorously-researched, in-depth and personal long-form doc on his life. Mandela began the ‘deadly decade’ imprisoned for life for conspiring to overthrow the state, but was freed in 1990 and went on to establish the country’s first democratic elections in 1994, winning the vote and subsequently leading as President until 1999.
