It would have been nice to have the Xhosa translated with English subtitles, thanks. Otherwise, wonderful "film. " "Madiba" is indeed a GREAT "human being" in which we can all aspire- someone who sees both their Beauty & "flaws"...

Dispite some of the hateful comments below, I realloy enjoyed this presentation. There is no such thing as a perfect President, and he did say that he was no saint. I think he did quite well considering the sheer enormity of his objectives, as well as the muliti-faceted problems and the political climate surrounding his administration.

It makes me sick to my stomach to read comments that are not only so one sided, but so elitist on both sides of the board. I read people saying that Africans are uncivilized and white people are evil... and how everyone just hates each other. You all need to grow up and realize that these elitist and hateful views on either side are the views that create such violence, ignorance, and devastation on both sides of any war. If you are to conduct a war with each other, you'd do the first thing anybody would do; study your enemy - and in doing so, you'd find that nobody is too far different from another. Anyways, the movie was great, though, it did not show everything that happened. It did not show much of any negatives on either side - the English were much worse rulers, and Mandela was not an angel himself.

Nelson Mandela is no more a terrorist than George Washington and they both had the same enemy ... Great Britain and the nation's "colonial" political policies. The reality is that for all the evil that white supremacy brought to the indigenous peoples of Africa, India, China, South America and Australia, whites are lucky that the people of color they tortured, murdered, deprived of rights and humiliated, didn't do to the whites what the white's did to them. They're lucky that leaders like Nelson Mandela, Jawaral Nehru, Chiang Kai Shek, Jomo Kenyatta, Kwame Nkrumah and Nmandi Azikiwe chose "peace and reconciliation" rather than "conflict and retribution." Whites are the planet's true minority at around 15 percent of the world's population. According to the United Nations, 20 percent of the world's population today is African or black, while another 40 percent is Chinese and Indian. By 2050 Africans or blacks will make up 25 percent of the world's population. This is what white supremacist political leaders have known all along, and this is why they tried so desperately to disrupt the development of people of color throughout the world who they knew would one day wake-up and realize their ethnic superiority to whites. Adolf Hitler even said in a speech that whites had to stop the "dark hordes" from rising up against them. This inherent fear is the basis for so many of the laws that white men enacted to keep white women from mingling with the men of color so many lusted for and loved. The white supremacist knew that his inferior bloodline would eventually cause once-white skin to become "tan."White supremacists didn't use diplomacy with their "colored" planetary neighbors, they used deception and military force to subjugate them, to exploit the mineral resources of their lands and to exploit their bodies and life energies for cheap labor. They created laws that kept education and even the basic right to vote away from people of color knowing that under the "democracy" they were promoting as a form of government, majority and not the minority would rule. For the "working class" ignorati making derogatory comments about Mandiba, I guarantee that your white skin doesn't make you a part of any ruling class of people ... anywhere. Your working class asses are just as exploited as the people you now claim are terrorists. DeBeer's and the other corporate rulers who lead this world have no more respect for you and your white trash lineage than they do any person of color. Instead of deriding Mandiba you ought to stand up and applaud him. And for the person who had the audacity to state that blacks were murdering blacks before white supremacists "civilized" them, are we to believe that the civilized white hordes of Romans who murdered and rape their way across this planet didn't murder anyone white? So according to you, genius, the only people on this planet who savaged each other were blacks? Is your name "Boo Boo the Fool?"This film is excellent. Watch it and learn.

Here you go peeps whitey was bad I dont care if he wanted to black panther there butts in the street. What he did was a sign that times needed to change. Malcolm was angry to, but he to needed to exist for the world to change. I thank Nelson for the changes he was able to create now it is time for someone else to fight. Nelson went from poverty to riches this changes people especially those who have been in-slaved. The person to bring forth change now must be a person from a new time. That my peeps is human nature never fault another unless you yourself are prepared to walk in there shoes. Nelson did the best he could for a man who raised himself. How well would you have turned out? hmmm.
