A movie that is meant to tell a powerful message and show us a part of Africas history but fails miserably. There are so many interesting concepts that could show us what their lives were really like. Sadly, the film is riddled with pacing issues, boring cinematography, and uninspired writing. It felt like this movie was more interested in simply showing us series of events instead of telling us an inspiring story about the life of Nelson Mandela. It is so bad that I not only find it offensive to well directed movies trying to make a difference, but is also disrespectful to the legacy of Mandela.
