The story of Nelson Mandela's early years on the run from the
apartheid authorities
JOHANNESBURG. MARCH 1961.
Thirty-one activists are on trial for treason. Among their number is
Nelson Mandela, a rising star of the resistance movement and one of the
biggest threats to the South African government and their racist system
of apartheid. To everyone's surprise, they are found not guilty. But
rather than relish his newfound freedom, Nelson disappears.
With this, the incredible true story of Nelson Mandela's life on the run
begins. For months, he is an outlaw, the police and secret services
hunting him in vain, living under new identities and separated from his
young family. His mission? To set up armed resistance to apartheid, and
in doing so change the course of history.
