The Real Story of Winnie & Nelson Mandela
Co-directors: Kenneth Mdana, David Mesenbring, Stanley Nelson, Zwelakhe
Sisulu, documentary, France, 2016, English, 59 min.
Forget all the Hollywood films about Winnie and Nelson
Mandela (propaganda) that do not in any way reveal the true story of White
supremacist rule in South Africa and the heroes and sheroes that helped to
fight for justice and freedom. For the first time ever see the critically
acclaimed 1986 documentary on the lives of Winnie and Nelson Mandela without
the frills, miseducation, whitewashing, and misinformation that is found in Hollywood blockbuster movies.
A Woman’s Place
Sue Crockford, Tony Wickert, Ellen Adams, UK. 1971, documentary,
U, English, 35 min.
A film about the women's liberation movement. Some women say what they think is wrong with the present set-up, at a conference where the fathers look after the children and passers-by are questioned about their attitudes. It ends with a cheerful march through London by women, with some male supporters, demanding basic rights. Of great historical interest. How much have things changed since then? Made in 1971 this film reflects the cultural attitudes and language of the time it was made. The issues raised are timeless. The film quality may not be to modern standards
