Fun Fridays – Director’s Favourite Films – In Memoriam: Nelson Mandela inspired cinema

Hello Film Doctor friends.

As the world mourns the passing of Nelson Mandela, this Fun Friday is not so much fun. However, thanks to his long life of achievements, it remains an extremely inspirational one nonetheless. Here we pay dues to one of the most influential politicians and human rights activists in modern history.

The Film Doctor team looks at his legacy in the film world:

• “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” (dir. Justin Chadwick, 2013)

• “Goodbye Bafana” (dir. Bille August, 2007)

• “Invictus” (dir.  Clint Eastwood, 2009)

• • “Mandela and de Klerk” (dir. Joseph Sargent, 1997)
