It seems that Hollywood cannot get enough of the biopic picture and it’s Winnine Mandela who is under the spotlight.
Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson is back on the big screen in the title role while Terrance Howard plays Nelson Mandela.
Through her fierce determination and dauntless courage, she survived her husband’s imprisonment, continuous harassment by the security police, banishment to a small Free State town, betrayal by friends and allies, and more than a year in solitary confinement – all the while keeping the name and hope of Nelson Mandela alive.
A sensitively balanced portrayal that investigates and examines the controversies that dogged Winnie Mandela in recent years, painting a rich, warm and vivid portrait of one of the world’s most charismatic, yet enigmatic women.
Exploring both her personal and political life, the audience is given a rare glimpse into Winnie’s strict yet happy rural upbringing where the foundations were laid for her faith, compassion and indomitable resolve.
Take a look at the first trailer for the movie:
