Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, or “mkhulu” (grandfather), was born in the small village of Mvezo, Transkei, on July 18, 1918. On October 9h, in homage to Nelson Mandela’s remarkable life and revolutionary achievements in South Africa, Palm Pictures releases “Palm World Voices: Mandela.” This installment in the Palm World Voices series on global music and culture is a detailed and moving exposé of South Africa’s first black President and one of the most important figures of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Film DVD: “Mandela: Son of Africa, Father of a Nation”
Out of print for many years and filmed over seven months leading up to the historic 1994 presidential election, “Mandela” is an absorbing full-length documentary looking at the courageous life, tribulations and fortitude of Mandela the leader, while never forgetting the engaging and charismatic spirit of Mandela the man. Film features exclusive interviews and narration from Mandela himself.
Directed by South African Jo Menell and produced by Jonathan Demme, “Mandela” was nominated for the 1997 Academy Award for Best Documentary. “…one of the most inspiring stories of our time!” - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Audio CD: “Mandela” Original Soundtrack
Music in South Africa is as vast as the country itself. The soundtrack to “Mandela” evokes over seven decades in the life of Nelson Mandela and the rich and vibrant musical legacy of South Africa, with traditional Xhosa and Zulu folk songs, ‘50s township swing and jump blues, harmony trios and powerful protest songs of freedom. With Vusi Mahlasela, the Manhattan Brothers, Brenda Fassie, Johnny Clegg, the ANC Choir, the Special AKA and many others.
48-page Book
Telling the compelling story of the extraordinary life of Nelson Mandela is a beautiful, 48-page book filled with dozens of photos and art images, and an essay by acclaimed journalist Robin Denselow.
