Winnie

Film selection of the 29th Cascade Festival of African Films

Winnie Madikizela Mandela (1936-2018), who fought on the front lines against apartheid in South Africa during her husband Nelson Mandela ’s 27-year imprisonment, was one of the most misunderstood and intriguingly powerful contemporary female political figures.This is the untold story of the forces that combined to take her down, labeling him a saint and her, a sinner.
