The Weinstein company dropped this new poster in my inbox. I remember reading about Nelson Mandela a lot in junior high school and thanks to my edumacation I have more than a modicum of interest in this film. With Idris Elba in the title role, I suspect my interest will rise as time progresses…

MANDELA: LONG WALK TO FREEDOM is based on South African President Nelson Mandela’s autobiography of the same name, which chronicles his early life, coming of age, education and 27 years in prison before becoming President and working to rebuild the country’s once segregated society. Idris Elba (PROMETHEUS) stars as Nelson Mandela with Justin Chadwick (THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL) directing.
