Synopsis

"I stand here before you not a sa prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people " : those are the first words pronounced by Nelson Mandela after his release from prison, after 27 years of incarceration.
The event struck a chord worldwide, reminding us that South Africa, historically, was not only the first country to be colonised but also the last country to be decolonised.
