What better way to celebrate Martin Luther King Day than with an inspiring movie about Nelson Mandela. I’m a big fan of Idris Elba from The Wire and his performance on BBC America in Luther as well as his appearance in the Thor movies. Mandela is the story of Nelson Mandela’s life from childhood to his activism in civil rights to his years in prison through his inauguration as the first democratically elected president of South Africa. The struggle for freedom and civil rights continues, but this story is uplifting. GRADE: B+
I’ll be making it a point to see this film, George.
Prashant, I found MANDELA inspiring. I think you will, too.
Yes, I like him too. Try the movie THE PAST if it comes your way, George. it was excellent.
Okay, Patti, I’m putting THE PAST on our Movie List right now.
Can’t wait to see this one – thanks George.
Sergio, you’ll be impressed with MANDELA: A LONG WALK TO FREEDOM. I was.
