It is a shame that the Academy ignores so many brilliant documentaries (Hoop Dreams) while nominating high-minded, but bland ones like Mandella.
Internet Reviews
...What a fascinating portrait this film paints of Mandela!....MANDELA delivers a powerful emotional charge...
Chicago Sun-Times
...Stirring....Skillfully assembled and enlivened by an intoxicating array of African music on the soundtrack, it conveys forcefully not merely the well-known evils of apartheid but also the astonishing strength and wisdom of Mandela...
Los Angeles Times
...An expansive chronicle of South African leader Nelson Mandela's extraordinary life....Well-shot and edited...
