Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,062 --> 00:00:04,050
We cannot keep asking people to strike
2
00:00:04,054 --> 00:00:06,800
only to end up defenseless
in front of the firing squad.
3
00:00:06,801 --> 00:00:09,650
I propose a campaign of sabotage.
4
00:00:11,437 --> 00:00:13,487
Nelson Mandela, you are under arrest!
5
00:00:13,606 --> 00:00:16,023
This, the first day of
the committee's discussion
6
00:00:16,125 --> 00:00:18,910
on the policy of apartheid
happens also to be
7
00:00:18,995 --> 00:00:21,529
the very last day of a
trial in South Africa.
8
00:00:21,614 --> 00:00:23,247
The crime that the accused have been
9
00:00:23,333 --> 00:00:25,900
convicted of is high treason.
10
00:00:26,002 --> 00:00:27,034
You've come to this island
11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,837
to be forgotten and then to die.
12
00:00:29,956 --> 00:00:31,672
Debbie just had a baby daughter.
13
00:00:31,791 --> 00:00:34,375
My children have grown up
and I have not been there.
14
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:39,680
No, no, no, no!
15
00:00:39,782 --> 00:00:41,665
They've made me struggle.
16
00:00:41,768 --> 00:00:43,517
They can never hurt me again.
17
00:00:45,038 --> 00:00:46,604
- Hey, Ta!
- Ta!
18
00:00:46,689 --> 00:00:47,855
- Ta!
- Ta, ta!
19
00:00:47,974 --> 00:00:51,175
- Hey, Ta.
- Ta! Ta, ta!
20
00:00:51,277 --> 00:00:52,193
- Winnie!
- Ta, ta!
21
00:00:52,312 --> 00:00:53,527
- Come join us!
- Ta, ta!
22
00:00:53,646 --> 00:00:55,146
- I'm off to work.
- Ta!
23
00:00:55,231 --> 00:00:57,514
But I'm with you in spirit.
24
00:00:57,617 --> 00:00:59,200
Ta, ta!
25
00:01:10,196 --> 00:01:12,820
Prime Minister, the central
thrust of the act is simple,
26
00:01:12,825 --> 00:01:15,199
in township schools all lessons
27
00:01:15,301 --> 00:01:19,370
and key subjects must
be taught in Afrikaans.
28
00:01:19,472 --> 00:01:21,205
More and more blacks
are adopting English
29
00:01:21,307 --> 00:01:23,540
at an alarming rate.
30
00:01:23,643 --> 00:01:25,393
If the native wishes
to play a useful role
31
00:01:25,511 --> 00:01:27,711
in our culture he must be
able to speak our language.
32
00:01:27,814 --> 00:01:30,264
Indeed. But there is resistance.
33
00:01:30,350 --> 00:01:32,049
Really? In what way?
34
00:01:32,151 --> 00:01:34,068
Teachers threatening to strike,
35
00:01:34,187 --> 00:01:36,354
pupils refusing to attend classes.
36
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:38,406
Arrest those kids playing truant.
37
00:01:38,524 --> 00:01:40,441
That shouldn't strike
fear into our hearts.
38
00:01:45,675 --> 00:01:48,509
If you think about it in this way,
39
00:01:48,594 --> 00:01:53,314
children learning to speak
Afrikaans, is not a bad idea.
40
00:01:53,433 --> 00:01:55,466
You think knowledge is
the answer to everything.
41
00:01:55,568 --> 00:01:59,970
Not knowledge... understanding.
42
00:02:00,073 --> 00:02:04,525
To understand one's
opponent is a good thing.
43
00:02:04,610 --> 00:02:06,944
Nothing is a good thing
when it is forced upon you
44
00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:08,446
against your will.
45
00:02:08,531 --> 00:02:11,866
Yes. Yes. This is also true.
46
00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:27,631
Nelson, Winnie will be okay.
47
00:02:28,768 --> 00:02:33,187
She's home now and... she
is a very strong woman.
48
00:02:33,289 --> 00:02:36,807
But has been arrested,
interrogated, tortured
49
00:02:36,909 --> 00:02:40,528
because I love her...
because I married her
50
00:02:40,646 --> 00:02:42,346
and chose the path that led here,
51
00:02:42,448 --> 00:02:44,682
leaving her alone in the
world with two young children.
52
00:02:48,738 --> 00:02:50,471
I abandoned her, Walter.
53
00:03:13,896 --> 00:03:15,846
Aim. Fire!
54
00:03:29,362 --> 00:03:30,945
Social work department.
55
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:31,946
This is Mandela?
56
00:03:32,031 --> 00:03:33,197
Yes. This is Winnie Mandela.
57
00:03:33,282 --> 00:03:34,415
The protest in Soweto,
58
00:03:34,534 --> 00:03:36,167
it's out of control. It's horrible.
59
00:03:36,252 --> 00:03:37,735
The police, they gave no warning.
60
00:03:37,837 --> 00:03:39,703
They started firing,
shooting at the kids.
61
00:03:39,789 --> 00:03:40,871
Please, you must come.
62
00:03:43,876 --> 00:03:45,742
Widespread rioting in Soweto
63
00:03:45,845 --> 00:03:48,012
following student protests this morning.
64
00:03:49,298 --> 00:03:50,264
Police are advising civilians
65
00:03:50,383 --> 00:03:52,016
to stay indoors or risk arrest.
66
00:03:52,101 --> 00:03:53,717
There are unconfirmed reports...
67
00:04:53,496 --> 00:04:54,695
... The death of 13-year-old
68
00:04:54,780 --> 00:04:58,616
Hector Pieterson has sparked
days of increasing violence.
69
00:04:58,701 --> 00:05:01,252
Many of the dead are
schoolchildren whose protests
70
00:05:01,337 --> 00:05:03,704
at the imposition of
Afrikaans as the language
71
00:05:03,806 --> 00:05:06,223
of their classroom began
what is now being called
72
00:05:06,292 --> 00:05:08,542
the Soweto uprising.
73
00:05:08,628 --> 00:05:11,612
Over 120 rioters have
been killed so far.
74
00:05:13,065 --> 00:05:16,267
What started as peaceful
protest descended into chaos
75
00:05:16,369 --> 00:05:17,851
at running street battles between...
76
00:05:20,139 --> 00:05:22,973
They're kids, Oliver. Kids!
77
00:05:23,059 --> 00:05:24,475
And they're leading the charge.
78
00:05:26,412 --> 00:05:30,314
I miss home. But things
are even worse now.
79
00:05:35,421 --> 00:05:36,570
Schoolkids.
80
00:05:36,656 --> 00:05:39,657
Teachers too. All across Soweto.
81
00:05:39,742 --> 00:05:41,575
They have arrested hundreds.
82
00:05:41,661 --> 00:05:44,411
The anger and defiance
of this whole generation,
83
00:05:44,497 --> 00:05:48,382
it's like a volcano ready to erupt.
84
00:05:48,501 --> 00:05:50,334
And if it does... hmm.
85
00:05:50,419 --> 00:05:52,970
Struggle is entering a new phase.
86
00:05:53,055 --> 00:05:56,840
And the ANC must be
prepared to embrace it.
87
00:06:00,179 --> 00:06:01,645
... ground today and authorities
88
00:06:01,731 --> 00:06:02,879
- warn that the official...
- Switch it off.
89
00:06:02,982 --> 00:06:04,348
... death toll is likely...
90
00:06:05,568 --> 00:06:07,901
This is deeply disturbing.
91
00:06:08,020 --> 00:06:11,888
We control entire countries.
We protect our borders
92
00:06:11,991 --> 00:06:14,391
from terrorists and revolutionaries.
93
00:06:14,493 --> 00:06:15,643
Yet we can't stop a bunch of kids
94
00:06:15,745 --> 00:06:18,562
from causing absolute chaos.
95
00:06:18,648 --> 00:06:20,664
They're complaining about the education,
96
00:06:20,750 --> 00:06:22,883
yet they burn the schools
that we build for them.
97
00:06:22,985 --> 00:06:25,419
You can't apply logic to the blacks.
98
00:06:25,521 --> 00:06:26,820
They don't see the
buildings as their own.
99
00:06:26,922 --> 00:06:29,006
They see them as
instruments of apartheid.
100
00:06:29,108 --> 00:06:31,292
We will look like idiots
if we can't control
101
00:06:31,394 --> 00:06:32,993
a bunch of schoolchildren.
102
00:06:33,095 --> 00:06:35,813
Not only in Soweto,
right across South Africa.
103
00:06:35,915 --> 00:06:39,984
Our country is on fire,
how do we stop this?
104
00:06:40,086 --> 00:06:41,802
Let them feel they've won.
105
00:06:41,904 --> 00:06:44,221
Tell them they don't
have to learn Afrikaans.
106
00:06:44,307 --> 00:06:47,107
We've got bigger problems than
their hatred of our language.
107
00:06:47,209 --> 00:06:48,892
We've become complacent.
108
00:06:48,995 --> 00:06:50,611
We put away their leaders on an island
109
00:06:50,730 --> 00:06:52,429
and we thought that
would be the end of it.
110
00:06:52,531 --> 00:06:53,930
But they grew new leaders.
111
00:06:54,016 --> 00:06:57,067
That Steve Biko and his
black consciousness ideology
112
00:06:57,153 --> 00:06:58,886
stirring up the youth.
113
00:06:58,988 --> 00:07:00,821
We must be vigilant.
114
00:07:00,923 --> 00:07:03,440
We must cut off those ringleaders.
115
00:07:03,542 --> 00:07:06,493
I want them destroyed...
starting with Steve Biko.
116
00:07:13,419 --> 00:07:14,885
Thank you for coming today.
117
00:07:14,970 --> 00:07:17,054
You're a loyal supporter for our cause.
118
00:07:17,139 --> 00:07:18,505
See you inside.
119
00:07:19,975 --> 00:07:24,294
Hello [unintelligible]. I want
to introduce you to Steve Biko.
120
00:07:24,397 --> 00:07:25,746
A man of the future.
121
00:07:25,848 --> 00:07:29,483
Mr. Biko, I have heard of you.
122
00:07:30,820 --> 00:07:35,272
So tell me, what are
your plans for the future?
123
00:07:35,358 --> 00:07:37,908
Stay and see for yourself.
124
00:07:42,081 --> 00:07:45,299
Black consciousness means
pride in black culture,
125
00:07:45,401 --> 00:07:47,835
in being a black person.
126
00:07:47,953 --> 00:07:51,004
Black consciousness does
not need the approval,
127
00:07:51,123 --> 00:07:55,042
the cooperation, the
support of white liberals.
128
00:07:55,127 --> 00:07:58,045
- Yes!
- Black consciousness needs only
129
00:07:58,130 --> 00:08:02,666
the belief in itself
and in its absolute right
130
00:08:02,768 --> 00:08:05,803
to stand up and fight the oppression.
131
00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:10,774
Black consciousness
leads to black power.
132
00:08:14,563 --> 00:08:17,564
At the back we have Winnie Mandela.
133
00:08:19,952 --> 00:08:22,453
Winnie, please come. Speak to us.
134
00:08:25,291 --> 00:08:29,626
Winnie! Winnie! Winnie! Winnie!
135
00:08:29,712 --> 00:08:35,582
Winnie! Winnie! Winnie!
Winnie! Winnie! Winnie!
136
00:08:35,668 --> 00:08:38,702
Winnie! Winnie!
137
00:08:43,893 --> 00:08:45,759
Winnie! Winnie!
138
00:08:49,398 --> 00:08:51,899
Steve Biko is right.
139
00:08:52,017 --> 00:08:54,301
Black consciousness is
the route to freedom.
140
00:08:54,403 --> 00:08:56,570
Yes.
141
00:08:59,859 --> 00:09:03,160
And our freedom is something
we must claim ourselves.
142
00:09:03,245 --> 00:09:04,561
Yes.
143
00:09:04,663 --> 00:09:07,331
We must break the chains
of oppression ourselves.
144
00:09:07,416 --> 00:09:09,616
- Yes.
- Move over Foster!
145
00:09:09,702 --> 00:09:11,835
Yeah!
146
00:09:11,921 --> 00:09:13,003
Exactly.
147
00:09:13,088 --> 00:09:16,907
It is not you who will break us.
148
00:09:17,009 --> 00:09:20,511
It is ourselves alone
who will break you.
149
00:09:34,727 --> 00:09:36,059
Winnie! Winnie!
150
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,596
Biko.
151
00:09:39,698 --> 00:09:42,032
Biko! Biko! Biko! Where is Biko?
152
00:09:44,403 --> 00:09:45,736
The police!
153
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,772
- Come on.
- Argh!
154
00:10:07,916 --> 00:10:10,116
We've been waiting for you, Mr. Biko,
155
00:10:10,202 --> 00:10:12,669
you are gonna wish so much
that you're with your friends
156
00:10:12,787 --> 00:10:14,337
on Robin Island.
157
00:10:17,576 --> 00:10:19,325
Turn your face back to me?
158
00:10:19,427 --> 00:10:20,710
Cheeky bastard.
159
00:10:49,741 --> 00:10:50,957
What do you want?
160
00:10:51,042 --> 00:10:52,075
Pack your things.
161
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,711
You're being banished... to Brandfort.
162
00:10:56,798 --> 00:10:58,798
Brandfort? That is
the middle of nowhere!
163
00:10:58,883 --> 00:11:00,667
Don't touch my stuff!
164
00:11:00,752 --> 00:11:02,802
Always going on about
having your freedom.
165
00:11:02,887 --> 00:11:04,420
Now you've got it.
166
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:47,380
Hey, hey... look at me.
167
00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:51,884
Look at me. They told
us to keep you alive.
168
00:12:36,481 --> 00:12:37,597
What's going on?
169
00:12:39,317 --> 00:12:40,817
I don't know.
170
00:12:40,935 --> 00:12:44,070
Biko! Biko! Biko!
171
00:12:44,155 --> 00:12:46,906
Biko! Biko! Biko! Biko! Biko!
172
00:12:50,578 --> 00:12:52,528
Quiet!
173
00:12:52,614 --> 00:12:55,448
Biko! Biko! Biko!
174
00:13:05,543 --> 00:13:08,544
Thirteen Western nations
attended Biko's funeral.
175
00:13:08,630 --> 00:13:10,513
Over 15,000 people were there.
176
00:13:10,632 --> 00:13:12,398
This international
interference with the affairs
177
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:14,100
of our state is dangerous.
178
00:13:14,202 --> 00:13:16,069
The President of the
United States has publicly
179
00:13:16,171 --> 00:13:18,971
stated that America
is going to re-examine
180
00:13:19,074 --> 00:13:20,440
its relationship with us.
181
00:13:20,542 --> 00:13:22,842
What the hell does that even mean?
182
00:13:22,944 --> 00:13:24,727
As if I haven't got
enough on my plate already
183
00:13:24,813 --> 00:13:25,945
with this trumped up investigation
184
00:13:26,030 --> 00:13:27,947
of my personal finances.
185
00:13:28,032 --> 00:13:29,449
And now there's Biko.
186
00:13:29,534 --> 00:13:31,684
He fell and struck his
head... is that the best
187
00:13:31,786 --> 00:13:32,952
we could come up with?
188
00:13:33,054 --> 00:13:35,204
He fell and struck his head.
189
00:13:35,306 --> 00:13:37,022
I couldn't care if he's
dead but who the hell
190
00:13:37,125 --> 00:13:39,041
was stupid enough to
smash him up like that.
191
00:13:39,144 --> 00:13:42,912
What we have to do now is
contain these agitators.
192
00:13:43,014 --> 00:13:46,599
Unless we control this
madness we will end up being
193
00:13:46,668 --> 00:13:50,052
an oppressed minority
in our own country again.
194
00:13:50,171 --> 00:13:52,305
We need to show the rest
of the world we have things
195
00:13:52,390 --> 00:13:55,675
under control and we are
going in the right direction.
196
00:13:59,681 --> 00:14:03,049
Police have denied any
role in Biko's death.
197
00:14:03,151 --> 00:14:06,769
But published photographs
of his badly beaten body
198
00:14:06,855 --> 00:14:09,939
- suggest he...
- I can't shake it.
199
00:14:10,024 --> 00:14:11,274
What?
200
00:14:11,359 --> 00:14:13,326
This feeling.
201
00:14:13,428 --> 00:14:15,561
Here I am in Mozambique,
hundreds of miles away,
202
00:14:15,663 --> 00:14:17,062
yet I never feel safe.
203
00:14:17,165 --> 00:14:18,564
Never feel they won't hunt me down...
204
00:14:18,666 --> 00:14:19,782
or you, for that matter.
205
00:14:19,868 --> 00:14:22,285
Shh, shh, shh. You mustn't.
206
00:14:22,370 --> 00:14:24,036
It is not enough to stop me writing
207
00:14:24,122 --> 00:14:25,505
or teaching or speaking out.
208
00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:29,175
It's an awful choice.
It's a God awful price.
209
00:14:29,260 --> 00:14:30,293
But you can't dwell on it.
210
00:14:30,378 --> 00:14:31,744
You couldn't get through the day.
211
00:14:31,846 --> 00:14:33,095
I don't dwell about me.
212
00:14:33,214 --> 00:14:36,682
But, you... I never know
where you are from day to day.
213
00:14:36,768 --> 00:14:39,251
Today you're here,
yesterday you were in London,
214
00:14:39,354 --> 00:14:42,104
tomorrow [unintelligible].
215
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:47,109
Not so fast.
216
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:50,363
Why couldn't we just
be born content with...
217
00:14:50,448 --> 00:14:52,264
Are you expecting anyone?
218
00:14:52,367 --> 00:14:55,234
It's just Chris. I'd
told him you'd arrived.
219
00:15:00,875 --> 00:15:02,625
Chris, you look striking.
220
00:15:02,744 --> 00:15:03,826
Ruth.
221
00:15:05,380 --> 00:15:08,247
How are you? I rushed right over.
222
00:15:08,333 --> 00:15:10,950
Comrade, you arrived safely.
223
00:15:14,722 --> 00:15:17,640
Yeah. Oh, sorry. I forgot to salute you,
224
00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:19,425
Commander Chris Hani.
225
00:15:19,511 --> 00:15:24,630
Thanks. Thanks. But, homage must be paid
226
00:15:24,732 --> 00:15:26,482
to the leader we've just lost.
227
00:15:30,405 --> 00:15:33,155
An inquest has been set up
to investigate his murder.
228
00:15:33,274 --> 00:15:36,108
Which they'll absolutely clear
the police of any wrongdoing.
229
00:15:37,779 --> 00:15:40,079
Before he was killed,
Biko reached out to Oliver
230
00:15:40,164 --> 00:15:41,831
to set up a meeting in Botswana.
231
00:15:41,950 --> 00:15:44,834
Ah. He's finally come to understand
232
00:15:44,953 --> 00:15:46,786
that our guerilla fighters make the ANC
233
00:15:46,871 --> 00:15:48,037
a force to be reckoned with.
234
00:15:48,122 --> 00:15:49,839
Such a loss.
235
00:15:49,941 --> 00:15:52,241
No one's held such sway since Nelson.
236
00:15:52,343 --> 00:15:54,427
Has there been any word from him?
237
00:15:54,512 --> 00:15:56,629
Not recently. But
Oliver's called a meeting
238
00:15:56,714 --> 00:15:58,998
for the leadership in Ghana.
239
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:00,516
We must travel together.
240
00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:05,972
The apartheid government
241
00:16:06,057 --> 00:16:07,440
Is under pressure to answer
242
00:16:07,525 --> 00:16:10,142
the activist's mysterious demise.
243
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,867
You know, Ruth, your mailbox is so full,
244
00:16:17,986 --> 00:16:19,018
people are going to start thinking
245
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,736
you're the secretary of the ANC
246
00:16:20,822 --> 00:16:22,572
and the Director of the University.
247
00:16:22,657 --> 00:16:24,540
Well if you want mail
from people, Aquino,
248
00:16:24,659 --> 00:16:26,659
you have to be a better correspondent.
249
00:16:45,930 --> 00:16:48,097
These letter bombs...
250
00:16:48,199 --> 00:16:52,451
they are cowards. So many.
251
00:16:52,553 --> 00:16:57,857
How many more lives, Madiba,
before our liberation?
252
00:16:57,959 --> 00:17:00,359
Hmm?
253
00:17:01,529 --> 00:17:05,581
Sometimes it is, uh... hard to be,
254
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:09,752
as you say... optimistic.
255
00:17:15,877 --> 00:17:19,378
No matter how wrong our
calculations have been
256
00:17:19,464 --> 00:17:23,916
in the past, no matter what difficulties
257
00:17:24,018 --> 00:17:26,836
we face in the future,
258
00:17:26,938 --> 00:17:32,024
our freedom will be brought about
259
00:17:32,110 --> 00:17:36,145
by the strength of our organization
260
00:17:36,264 --> 00:17:40,282
and by the sheer
determination of our people.
261
00:17:54,481 --> 00:17:55,947
Mrs. Mandela, you were forced
262
00:17:55,948 --> 00:17:57,148
from your home in Soweto,
263
00:17:57,164 --> 00:17:59,584
and now this interim place
where you were held in isolation
264
00:17:59,670 --> 00:18:00,402
has been burnt.
265
00:18:00,504 --> 00:18:02,087
Who do you think did this?
266
00:18:02,172 --> 00:18:03,922
It is the South African government,
267
00:18:04,007 --> 00:18:05,757
through their security branch.
268
00:18:05,843 --> 00:18:07,175
Do you think it's possible
they're responsible
269
00:18:07,294 --> 00:18:08,710
for the death of Ruth First?
270
00:18:08,796 --> 00:18:11,129
Anything is possible with
a morally corrupt government
271
00:18:11,215 --> 00:18:13,331
that does not value a human life.
272
00:18:13,434 --> 00:18:16,802
And are you going to keep on struggling?
273
00:18:16,887 --> 00:18:18,487
The struggle goes on.
274
00:18:18,589 --> 00:18:20,722
There's never been a doubt about that.
275
00:18:20,824 --> 00:18:24,659
And when the struggle is over,
who's going to lead the people?
276
00:18:24,962 --> 00:18:28,313
Mandela. Mandela.
277
00:18:31,034 --> 00:18:33,118
I wonder which Mandela she means?
278
00:18:33,203 --> 00:18:34,185
Well, she doesn't say Nelson Mandela.
279
00:18:34,288 --> 00:18:36,321
Just Mandela.
280
00:18:36,407 --> 00:18:38,039
Something has got to
be done to stop her.
281
00:18:38,158 --> 00:18:40,358
The people love her, Joe.
282
00:18:40,461 --> 00:18:41,460
She has been dear friends with my wife
283
00:18:41,545 --> 00:18:42,694
since they were young girls.
284
00:18:42,796 --> 00:18:44,880
She says and does
whatever she wants, Oliver.
285
00:18:44,998 --> 00:18:46,832
She's uncontrollable.
286
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:49,134
Ruth would have kicked you for talking
287
00:18:49,219 --> 00:18:50,752
about a woman like that.
288
00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:57,809
What I wouldn't give to
have a good old argument
289
00:18:57,895 --> 00:18:59,895
with Ruth about that.
290
00:19:05,853 --> 00:19:07,853
I'm sorry, Joe.
291
00:19:09,156 --> 00:19:10,572
I'd just been with her.
292
00:19:13,494 --> 00:19:18,363
If only I'd... I'd told her... so much.
293
00:19:20,083 --> 00:19:24,369
How were you supposed to know?
None of us could have known.
294
00:19:28,325 --> 00:19:29,858
Well at least it was quick.
295
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:36,047
At the very least, we need to set up
296
00:19:36,133 --> 00:19:38,750
a crisis committee to deal with Winnie.
297
00:19:38,852 --> 00:19:42,220
How to handle her
without burning Nelson.
298
00:19:45,025 --> 00:19:46,658
Yes. Of course.
299
00:20:01,542 --> 00:20:02,824
I've been told that upon my release,
300
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:05,276
for six months I'll be living
under house arrest in Durban.
301
00:20:05,379 --> 00:20:08,279
Durban? That's close to where Winnie is.
302
00:20:08,382 --> 00:20:09,831
Any message to her?
303
00:20:09,917 --> 00:20:11,282
Oh, she knows it.
304
00:20:11,385 --> 00:20:15,720
But tell her anyway that
I think of her constantly.
305
00:20:15,806 --> 00:20:18,006
And eat some good food for me, yeah?
306
00:20:18,091 --> 00:20:19,424
After 12 years
307
00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:20,792
of being here with your chaps,
308
00:20:20,894 --> 00:20:22,644
even a cup of cold
tea and a stale biscuit
309
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:25,514
will taste like food for a king.
310
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:27,682
You'll be drinking English
tea with Oliver in London
311
00:20:27,768 --> 00:20:30,652
as soon as the ANC can arrange it.
312
00:20:30,771 --> 00:20:33,271
I'll slip out of the
country as soon as possible.
313
00:20:33,357 --> 00:20:35,440
Take all of your messages with me.
314
00:20:35,526 --> 00:20:38,276
Yes. The priority now is
international pressure.
315
00:20:38,362 --> 00:20:40,529
Economic sanctions. Make
sure that Oliver knows
316
00:20:40,614 --> 00:20:42,364
that we are in total accord.
317
00:20:44,785 --> 00:20:47,035
Last week a gala raises funds for arms.
318
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:48,653
Now a royal summit.
319
00:20:48,755 --> 00:20:49,654
You know, Oliver, I
think you look better
320
00:20:49,756 --> 00:20:52,257
in army fatigues. All in a day's work.
321
00:20:52,342 --> 00:20:56,511
- Chef Buthelezi.
- Oliver. Joe. You look well.
322
00:20:56,630 --> 00:20:59,798
You too. Your contingent
is as big as an army.
323
00:20:59,883 --> 00:21:02,267
But only the ANC can
afford a military wing.
324
00:21:02,352 --> 00:21:04,135
We sleep on mats in the rain.
325
00:21:04,221 --> 00:21:05,837
Nothing quite as princely as this.
326
00:21:05,939 --> 00:21:07,389
Please... sit.
327
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:13,228
My agreement with the
South African government
328
00:21:13,313 --> 00:21:16,448
has no underlying economic advantage.
329
00:21:16,533 --> 00:21:18,683
Leading a self-governing Zulu state
330
00:21:18,785 --> 00:21:21,903
is in the best interest of my people.
331
00:21:22,022 --> 00:21:24,489
And to some self-serving.
332
00:21:24,575 --> 00:21:29,210
Establishing separate nations
inside of a bigger nation
333
00:21:29,329 --> 00:21:31,613
has never been a goal of the ANC.
334
00:21:31,715 --> 00:21:35,550
But our mutual goal,
abolishing apartheid.
335
00:21:35,669 --> 00:21:38,386
Now, that has always been the same.
336
00:21:38,488 --> 00:21:40,855
At home, Inkatha is strong.
337
00:21:40,974 --> 00:21:44,509
Now we can continue to
lead the movement internally
338
00:21:44,595 --> 00:21:48,930
and the ANC can fight
the movement externally...
339
00:21:49,049 --> 00:21:50,148
internationally.
340
00:21:50,233 --> 00:21:52,150
We will fight from wherever we are
341
00:21:52,235 --> 00:21:54,102
with whatever we've got.
342
00:21:54,187 --> 00:21:55,604
Now you have asked for our blessing
343
00:21:55,689 --> 00:21:59,274
for greater recognition in
the international community,
344
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,611
that is impossible if we are at odds.
345
00:22:02,696 --> 00:22:06,615
Henceforth, the unity
of the ANC and Inkatha
346
00:22:06,717 --> 00:22:08,450
shall never be questioned.
347
00:22:08,535 --> 00:22:10,669
I will continue to call for the release
348
00:22:10,754 --> 00:22:13,755
of all political
prisoners and the unbanning
349
00:22:13,874 --> 00:22:16,240
of political organizations in exile.
350
00:22:16,343 --> 00:22:19,177
To the world our
allegiance and priorities
351
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:22,097
must remain unambiguously aligned.
352
00:22:22,215 --> 00:22:25,884
The ANC and Inkatha will move
forward and oppose apartheid
353
00:22:25,969 --> 00:22:30,972
as a unified front. I give you my word.
354
00:22:37,614 --> 00:22:40,315
Photos please. Yeah, that's nice.
355
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,733
Shake hands. Thank you.
356
00:22:41,818 --> 00:22:44,285
Good move. Unifying with us will ensure
357
00:22:44,404 --> 00:22:46,287
the prosperity of the Zulu nation.
358
00:22:46,406 --> 00:22:48,823
And self-rule, more importantly.
359
00:22:48,909 --> 00:22:50,241
For the greater good
of all of South Africa.
360
00:22:50,327 --> 00:22:53,545
- Mr. Vorster. Mr. Buthelezi.
- Camera please.
361
00:22:53,630 --> 00:22:55,578
That's nice. Thank you.
362
00:22:56,516 --> 00:22:57,481
- Unbelievable.
- Hmm.
363
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,899
He agreed to align himself with the ANC
364
00:22:58,985 --> 00:23:01,468
and now he's opposing
international sanctions.
365
00:23:01,571 --> 00:23:02,987
The government is aware that Buthelezi
366
00:23:03,106 --> 00:23:05,022
gives them credibility.
367
00:23:05,108 --> 00:23:06,907
They're using him.
368
00:23:06,993 --> 00:23:09,744
Reinforcing a perception
that Inkatha is the only
369
00:23:09,829 --> 00:23:11,329
dominant black party of South Africa.
370
00:23:11,447 --> 00:23:13,814
In the interest of both
sides, Inkatha and the Homeland
371
00:23:13,916 --> 00:23:15,950
survive on government subsidies.
372
00:23:16,035 --> 00:23:18,485
The powerful Zulu
chieftain and the leader
373
00:23:18,588 --> 00:23:20,988
of the influential
Inkatha Freedom Party said,
374
00:23:21,090 --> 00:23:24,208
"I urge my friends in South
Africa to renounce violence.
375
00:23:24,293 --> 00:23:27,011
I urge my friends in the rest
of the world not to impose
376
00:23:27,113 --> 00:23:28,896
economic sanctions on South Africa."
377
00:23:28,965 --> 00:23:30,781
The message sent on Robin Island is that
378
00:23:30,883 --> 00:23:32,499
international pressure is more important
379
00:23:32,602 --> 00:23:34,101
than the armed struggle.
380
00:23:34,187 --> 00:23:37,938
Only pressure from the outside
can bring this to a head.
381
00:23:38,024 --> 00:23:41,409
We need to shift the world's
perception that the ANC
382
00:23:41,511 --> 00:23:43,711
leads black South Africa.
383
00:23:43,813 --> 00:23:46,814
ANC must be the voice
the world listens to.
384
00:23:46,899 --> 00:23:48,532
The government offered
Nelson his freedom
385
00:23:48,651 --> 00:23:50,067
if he agreed to live
in one of the homelands,
386
00:23:50,153 --> 00:23:53,571
like Buthelezi, and
stay out of politics.
387
00:23:53,656 --> 00:23:55,322
Nelson refused.
388
00:23:56,826 --> 00:23:58,993
It's a great story
if you think about it.
389
00:23:59,078 --> 00:24:04,215
Only a true leader would sacrifice
his own freedom for his people.
390
00:24:04,333 --> 00:24:07,701
I've been thinking about
this for quite some time.
391
00:24:07,804 --> 00:24:10,537
Now, more than ever,
the world needs a symbol
392
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,591
to rally around for our cause.
393
00:24:13,676 --> 00:24:17,044
Freeing Nelson Mandela
could be that symbol
394
00:24:17,146 --> 00:24:18,846
for the freedom of all South Africa.
395
00:24:18,931 --> 00:24:21,649
It's brilliant. We
could do something like:
396
00:24:21,734 --> 00:24:24,018
"Release Nelson Mandela now".
397
00:24:26,155 --> 00:24:28,739
Free Nelson Mandela.
398
00:24:30,827 --> 00:24:33,444
? Free Nelson Mandela ?
399
00:24:33,529 --> 00:24:38,749
? Free Nelson Mandela ?
400
00:24:39,869 --> 00:24:40,901
? I'm begging you ?
401
00:24:41,003 --> 00:24:45,923
? Free Nelson Mandela ?
402
00:24:48,544 --> 00:24:53,214
? Free Nelson Mandela ?
403
00:24:56,018 --> 00:25:01,605
? Free Nelson Mandela ?
404
00:25:01,724 --> 00:25:03,757
? Oh, I'm begging you ?
405
00:25:03,860 --> 00:25:08,279
? Free Nelson Mandela ?
406
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,602
Prime Minister John
Vorster has resigned.
407
00:25:15,705 --> 00:25:17,171
Thank you, Warden Brand.
408
00:25:22,712 --> 00:25:26,263
"The PM resigns after
12 years in the top job,
409
00:25:26,382 --> 00:25:28,782
alleged misuse of public funds.
410
00:25:28,885 --> 00:25:32,086
Security Minister, Van Den
Burgh, also implicated."
411
00:25:33,222 --> 00:25:34,621
Who is next in line?
412
00:25:34,724 --> 00:25:39,643
The Minister of Defense,
Pieter Willem Botha.
413
00:25:39,762 --> 00:25:42,680
The economic situation
is not improving, Kobie.
414
00:25:42,765 --> 00:25:44,899
I've just been told that
a major international bank
415
00:25:44,984 --> 00:25:46,884
is threatening to withdraw support
416
00:25:46,986 --> 00:25:49,403
unless we engage with black leadership.
417
00:25:49,505 --> 00:25:51,672
They want us to negotiate with them.
418
00:25:51,774 --> 00:25:54,008
Pray to God it doesn't come to that.
419
00:25:54,110 --> 00:25:58,846
Prime Minister, to that end
I've given this serious thought.
420
00:25:58,948 --> 00:26:01,866
We've played our hand
with Buthelezi long enough.
421
00:26:01,968 --> 00:26:05,436
We have no other choice
but to be... pragmatic.
422
00:26:08,541 --> 00:26:10,040
Nelson Mandela?
423
00:26:10,142 --> 00:26:12,393
Yes, this from a top psychologist.
424
00:26:15,882 --> 00:26:18,199
"Mandela is exceptionally motivated.
425
00:26:18,301 --> 00:26:21,001
He has an extraordinarily
powerful memory
426
00:26:21,103 --> 00:26:24,805
and maintains outstanding
personal relations.
427
00:26:24,891 --> 00:26:27,024
He's always friendly and respectful
428
00:26:27,143 --> 00:26:28,976
towards authority figures."
429
00:26:29,061 --> 00:26:31,345
This is a leader of
a banned organization
430
00:26:31,447 --> 00:26:34,598
that has committed acts
of violence against us,
431
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:36,850
waged an armed struggle.
432
00:26:36,936 --> 00:26:40,371
Eighteen years in prison can
change a man and perhaps now
433
00:26:40,473 --> 00:26:44,141
the idea of power sharing
might appeal to him.
434
00:26:44,243 --> 00:26:46,744
He is the symbol of a
movement that none of us
435
00:26:46,846 --> 00:26:47,962
could have foreseen.
436
00:26:48,047 --> 00:26:50,130
Every day we delay dealing with him,
437
00:26:50,233 --> 00:26:53,884
the pressure against our system mounts.
438
00:26:54,003 --> 00:26:57,721
Perhaps we could transfer
him off Robin Island to say,
439
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,292
Pollsmoor prison?
Conduct meetings with him
440
00:27:01,394 --> 00:27:03,861
in utmost secrecy.
441
00:27:37,513 --> 00:27:40,097
Come. Come.
442
00:28:09,378 --> 00:28:12,246
Best of all, you get your own toilet.
443
00:28:27,146 --> 00:28:29,013
Good morning, Nelson. How are you today?
444
00:28:29,098 --> 00:28:31,482
I am fine, Warden
Brandt. I didn't realize
445
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,185
having extra space would, uh,
take so much getting used to.
446
00:28:35,287 --> 00:28:36,687
Well, don't get too comfortable.
447
00:28:36,789 --> 00:28:38,022
Orders have just come
in to transport you
448
00:28:38,124 --> 00:28:40,107
to an important meeting today.
449
00:28:56,808 --> 00:28:59,780
_
450
00:28:59,809 --> 00:29:04,795
Mr. Mandela. Welcome Mr. Mandela.
451
00:29:04,898 --> 00:29:06,797
- Welcome to my home.
- Thank you.
452
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:08,566
And forgive me while I catch my breath.
453
00:29:08,651 --> 00:29:09,684
Ah.
454
00:29:09,769 --> 00:29:11,569
This is the first vista I have seen
455
00:29:11,654 --> 00:29:14,355
without a hint of steel
or barbed wire in...
456
00:29:14,457 --> 00:29:16,240
quite some time.
457
00:29:16,326 --> 00:29:17,425
Take as long as you want.
458
00:29:17,527 --> 00:29:19,594
I... I want you to be comfortable here.
459
00:29:19,696 --> 00:29:22,463
I trust your conditions at
Pollsmoor are more acceptable.
460
00:29:22,565 --> 00:29:25,700
I would scarcely call any
conditions short of freedom
461
00:29:25,785 --> 00:29:27,835
acceptable, Mr. Banner.
462
00:29:27,954 --> 00:29:30,838
Well, that's what we're
here to talk about...
463
00:29:30,957 --> 00:29:32,540
and please call me Kobie.
464
00:29:32,625 --> 00:29:36,711
I've studied your name...
Nelson Rolichlala...
465
00:29:36,796 --> 00:29:38,429
Rolihlahla Dalibhunga.
466
00:29:38,515 --> 00:29:41,265
Dalibhunga. The convener of dialogue.
467
00:29:41,351 --> 00:29:43,101
Yes. It is the name that was given to me
468
00:29:43,186 --> 00:29:45,436
at my initiation into manhood.
469
00:29:45,522 --> 00:29:48,106
Although it is you who
started this conversation.
470
00:29:48,191 --> 00:29:50,141
Well, for starters, may
I please call you Nelson?
471
00:29:50,226 --> 00:29:51,776
Yes, if it makes you comfortable.
472
00:29:51,861 --> 00:29:55,613
Dankie. I felt it necessary
for us to sit down together
473
00:29:55,698 --> 00:29:59,233
and start negotiating
about the path forward.
474
00:29:59,319 --> 00:30:03,287
Well, it is very difficult
for us to begin negotiating
475
00:30:03,373 --> 00:30:06,491
if our organization
is still behind bars.
476
00:30:06,576 --> 00:30:08,709
What shall we call what
we are doing right now?
477
00:30:08,828 --> 00:30:10,795
We are merely talking.
478
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,881
And it is my own personal view
that we begin a discussion.
479
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
But you must understand that I am not
480
00:30:16,086 --> 00:30:17,718
the President of the ANC.
481
00:30:17,837 --> 00:30:20,054
Our leader is Oliver Tambo.
482
00:30:28,198 --> 00:30:29,764
If the blacks kill each other,
483
00:30:29,883 --> 00:30:31,349
they will forget all about fighting us.
484
00:30:31,434 --> 00:30:33,134
General, are you suggesting
485
00:30:33,236 --> 00:30:36,337
we provide military
training for Inkatha?
486
00:30:36,439 --> 00:30:39,023
Merely to defend themselves.
487
00:30:39,125 --> 00:30:42,110
Let Inkatha Zulus return
to their warring nature.
488
00:30:44,030 --> 00:30:45,613
If the blacks turn on each other,
489
00:30:45,698 --> 00:30:48,483
moving forward towards
a unified democracy
490
00:30:48,585 --> 00:30:50,118
would be a moot point.
491
00:30:51,371 --> 00:30:54,755
I will make sure there is no
connection back to our military.
492
00:30:54,874 --> 00:30:59,460
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
493
00:31:24,988 --> 00:31:26,320
Take that thing off.
494
00:32:07,947 --> 00:32:11,782
We are not going to fight
this Government with AKA 47s.
495
00:32:11,868 --> 00:32:12,950
No!
496
00:32:13,036 --> 00:32:15,169
- Because we haven't got any.
- Yes.
497
00:32:15,288 --> 00:32:17,255
- We have stones.
- Yes!
498
00:32:17,340 --> 00:32:20,875
- We have boxes of matches.
- Yes!
499
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,377
- We have got these hands.
- Yes!
500
00:32:23,463 --> 00:32:25,296
- Our power.
- Yes!
501
00:32:25,381 --> 00:32:27,331
- The people's power!
- Yes!
502
00:32:27,433 --> 00:32:30,501
- We shall dismantle apartheid.
- Yes!
503
00:32:30,603 --> 00:32:33,638
- To hell with Botha regime!
- Yes!
504
00:32:33,723 --> 00:32:36,340
- Power to the people!
- Power.
505
00:32:36,442 --> 00:32:38,842
- Power to the people!
- Power!
506
00:32:58,047 --> 00:33:00,081
Yes, collaborator. Police.
507
00:33:00,166 --> 00:33:05,553
- Traitor!
- No, no, no, no. Please!
508
00:33:51,968 --> 00:33:54,151
Committee cannot control her.
509
00:33:54,220 --> 00:33:56,253
She will not listen to anyone.
510
00:33:56,356 --> 00:33:59,106
And now they say she's
holding hostages in her home.
511
00:33:59,225 --> 00:34:02,276
She continues to speak out about
whatever she likes, in public.
512
00:34:02,395 --> 00:34:04,195
We have tried to
protect Nelson from this
513
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,697
so that he can concentrate
on other matters.
514
00:34:06,783 --> 00:34:08,199
But we have no choice.
515
00:34:08,301 --> 00:34:10,901
He must be the one to
deal with this crisis.
516
00:34:10,987 --> 00:34:13,654
We must tell him everything we know.
517
00:34:13,740 --> 00:34:16,657
We received word. Nelson already knows.
518
00:34:19,662 --> 00:34:21,629
The extent of the accusations?
519
00:34:21,748 --> 00:34:23,748
We're hearing rumors
that Nelson's negotiating
520
00:34:23,833 --> 00:34:26,884
with the government, which
is, on one hand, a good thing.
521
00:34:26,969 --> 00:34:28,619
On the other hand, it's
going to raise questions,
522
00:34:28,721 --> 00:34:31,922
with some people, about
bargains he may be making.
523
00:34:32,008 --> 00:34:34,975
Stop. No more. I will not listen
524
00:34:35,094 --> 00:34:37,428
to any more talk about
Nelson selling out.
525
00:34:37,513 --> 00:34:40,231
There's no talk of that coming from me.
526
00:34:40,316 --> 00:34:43,300
I'm certain that Nelson is unwavering.
527
00:34:43,403 --> 00:34:45,353
He will always uphold the ANC's mandate.
528
00:34:45,438 --> 00:34:47,805
We have to maintain
the higher moral ground.
529
00:34:47,907 --> 00:34:49,357
Calm down, Oliver.
530
00:34:51,027 --> 00:34:52,360
Sit down.
531
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,614
You're working yourself to death.
532
00:34:56,699 --> 00:34:59,583
Every day it is something else.
533
00:34:59,669 --> 00:35:01,285
My mind is pulled and it goes
534
00:35:01,371 --> 00:35:02,953
in different directions.
535
00:35:09,011 --> 00:35:13,097
Do you think that leadership
in exile is concerned
536
00:35:13,182 --> 00:35:15,266
about these private talks?
537
00:35:15,368 --> 00:35:17,017
That I am selling out?
538
00:35:17,136 --> 00:35:19,670
Oliver could never think
that you would sell out.
539
00:35:19,772 --> 00:35:24,442
Hmm. We have not seen Oliver...
540
00:35:24,544 --> 00:35:27,728
in nearly a quarter century.
541
00:35:27,814 --> 00:35:30,614
I don't trust the Government
with this prison move.
542
00:35:30,700 --> 00:35:34,068
They're trying to divide and weaken us.
543
00:35:34,153 --> 00:35:36,854
Yes. Of course, you are right.
544
00:35:36,956 --> 00:35:40,324
But I do believe that
the time has finally come.
545
00:35:41,577 --> 00:35:44,078
They have finally accepted
that they have to talk to us.
546
00:35:44,163 --> 00:35:47,415
It's not the perfect situation,
but how can I walk away
547
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:50,334
from such an opportunity?
548
00:35:52,588 --> 00:35:54,638
I won't stand in your way.
549
00:35:54,724 --> 00:35:57,675
I trust that you know
what you are doing.
550
00:35:59,512 --> 00:36:02,680
Actually, I am more concerned about...
551
00:36:02,765 --> 00:36:07,435
how to handle the delicacy
of my... domestic situation.
552
00:36:08,654 --> 00:36:11,489
I have heard too many things.
553
00:36:11,574 --> 00:36:13,574
Second hand, of course,
from [unintelligible].
554
00:36:13,676 --> 00:36:16,761
So have I. Word is travelling.
555
00:36:29,125 --> 00:36:31,408
There's rumors about her.
556
00:36:31,511 --> 00:36:34,211
The necklacing,
557
00:36:34,297 --> 00:36:37,131
kidnappings of so-called traitors,
558
00:36:37,233 --> 00:36:39,967
the gangs of thugs that she commands.
559
00:36:41,337 --> 00:36:42,536
What else have you heard?
560
00:36:42,638 --> 00:36:43,971
Nothing for sure.
561
00:36:45,658 --> 00:36:48,442
And I pray that they are only rumors.
562
00:36:49,929 --> 00:36:51,662
She is my wife, Walter.
563
00:36:51,764 --> 00:36:54,782
My wife. A political person.
564
00:36:54,901 --> 00:36:56,717
A good person. There will always be
565
00:36:56,819 --> 00:36:59,403
those forces that want to tarnish her.
566
00:37:02,291 --> 00:37:05,075
Already they have done so
much to try and destroy her.
567
00:37:08,264 --> 00:37:11,499
Nelson. For your own peace of mind,
568
00:37:11,601 --> 00:37:13,567
we must get word to the ANC
569
00:37:13,669 --> 00:37:16,320
to find out the truth about this.
570
00:37:16,422 --> 00:37:21,425
I have had a certain amount
of peace and protection here.
571
00:37:24,363 --> 00:37:26,347
She has had none of that.
572
00:37:43,527 --> 00:37:45,560
No further military action.
573
00:37:45,646 --> 00:37:47,445
I am not prepared to
lead white South Africans
574
00:37:47,531 --> 00:37:49,814
on the road to abdication and suicide.
575
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:51,283
I agree. There's no answer
576
00:37:51,368 --> 00:37:52,617
in trying to fight it out.
577
00:37:52,703 --> 00:37:54,986
I am committed to peaceful negotiation.
578
00:37:56,990 --> 00:37:59,491
Sir, we will press ahead with
more apartheid reforms, then.
579
00:37:59,576 --> 00:38:01,209
In their direction.
580
00:38:01,328 --> 00:38:04,162
We have crossed the Rubicon,
there can be no turning back.
581
00:38:04,248 --> 00:38:05,380
And what about Mandela?
582
00:38:05,499 --> 00:38:07,332
If he gives a commitment
to non-violence,
583
00:38:07,434 --> 00:38:08,800
I will release him.
584
00:38:08,902 --> 00:38:10,819
He has already rejected that offer, Sir.
585
00:38:10,921 --> 00:38:13,588
Then he must reconsider.
We will wear him down.
586
00:38:15,025 --> 00:38:17,158
Move him to even more
comfortable surroundings.
587
00:38:17,261 --> 00:38:20,345
Give him more and more
of a taste of freedom.
588
00:38:20,430 --> 00:38:23,181
Get him to understand there is no way
589
00:38:23,267 --> 00:38:26,050
I will unban the ANC.
590
00:38:26,153 --> 00:38:28,019
Ball is in his court.
591
00:39:03,307 --> 00:39:04,939
Well, I'm glad they
let me take you today.
592
00:39:05,058 --> 00:39:06,474
Tomorrow is the public holiday.
593
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,560
Oh, yes. The Day of the Covenant,
594
00:39:08,645 --> 00:39:11,363
your day of thanksgiving to God.
595
00:39:11,448 --> 00:39:15,250
Twenty-seven years ago we
began the armed struggle.
596
00:39:15,352 --> 00:39:17,769
Twenty-seven years.
597
00:39:17,871 --> 00:39:19,270
Well, Nelson, let me take
your boxes out the back
598
00:39:19,356 --> 00:39:21,539
and then it's... it's goodbye from me.
599
00:39:21,625 --> 00:39:22,891
I've got to get back to Pollsmoor.
600
00:39:22,993 --> 00:39:25,076
You know Warden Brand,
you always behaved
601
00:39:25,162 --> 00:39:28,096
correctly toward me.
602
00:39:28,215 --> 00:39:31,616
It is wardens like you, men like you,
603
00:39:31,702 --> 00:39:34,953
that have validated
my belief in humanity
604
00:39:35,055 --> 00:39:38,673
all these years behind bars.
605
00:39:38,759 --> 00:39:41,259
Thank you.
606
00:39:42,729 --> 00:39:44,262
Let me get those boxes.
607
00:39:49,436 --> 00:39:51,469
I want to work with
the congress to advance
608
00:39:51,571 --> 00:39:53,321
America's policy towards South Africa.
609
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,939
Leading democrats who introduced
610
00:39:55,025 --> 00:39:58,309
amendments calling for total
disinvestment in South Africa.
611
00:39:58,412 --> 00:40:00,829
Exxon joins Coca-Cola, Kodak, Revlon,
612
00:40:00,947 --> 00:40:04,699
and others to become the 87th
company to leave in two years.
613
00:40:04,785 --> 00:40:07,168
And as we decided we could
not do business with Hitler,
614
00:40:07,287 --> 00:40:10,922
we must now decide that we cannot
do business with South Africa.
615
00:40:11,007 --> 00:40:13,324
We can't afford to
keep our economy afloat.
616
00:40:13,427 --> 00:40:14,893
We are near bankrupt.
617
00:40:14,995 --> 00:40:16,594
Mr. de Klerk, our air strikes
against the neighboring states
618
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:17,929
have further increased our debt.
619
00:40:18,014 --> 00:40:20,998
In the interest of eliminating
unsolicited interference
620
00:40:21,084 --> 00:40:23,051
in South African affairs... yeah, yeah.
621
00:40:23,136 --> 00:40:26,838
Now Chase Manhattan is
refusing to rollover our debt.
622
00:40:26,940 --> 00:40:28,723
This morning I tried
reaching out to the President
623
00:40:28,809 --> 00:40:32,727
of the Federal Reserve...
but the rand is falling.
624
00:40:32,813 --> 00:40:35,130
Our inputs are being curbed.
625
00:40:35,232 --> 00:40:38,182
Even the committee appointed
by Botha has no viable
626
00:40:38,285 --> 00:40:40,168
solutions to offer.
627
00:40:43,490 --> 00:40:46,241
I will assemble as many of
the ministers as possible
628
00:40:46,359 --> 00:40:49,861
for an emergency session
at my house in Pretoria.
629
00:40:49,963 --> 00:40:53,865
We have to present a united
front when we approach him.
630
00:40:53,967 --> 00:40:59,504
If we do not compromise now,
Buck, disaster is inevitable.
631
00:40:59,606 --> 00:41:04,259
Are you now beginning to quote
the words of Nelson Mandela?
632
00:41:14,571 --> 00:41:16,020
Thank you.
633
00:41:20,060 --> 00:41:22,911
It pains me to ask you this,
634
00:41:23,029 --> 00:41:26,364
but are any of the things
that you are accused of true?
635
00:41:30,203 --> 00:41:32,670
It is propaganda.
636
00:41:32,756 --> 00:41:34,172
You should know better than anyone
637
00:41:34,257 --> 00:41:36,691
not to believe everything
you read in the paper.
638
00:41:36,793 --> 00:41:39,594
That is not what I asked you.
639
00:41:39,696 --> 00:41:42,079
You must disband the football club.
640
00:41:42,182 --> 00:41:45,049
The football club looks after me.
641
00:41:45,135 --> 00:41:47,135
- They keep me safe.
- They must go.
642
00:41:49,689 --> 00:41:52,557
But, darling, there is a
Walter Sisulu football club.
643
00:41:52,642 --> 00:41:54,559
Why can't we have a Mandela
United football club?
644
00:41:54,644 --> 00:41:58,062
The Walter Sisulu football
club does not have members
645
00:41:58,148 --> 00:42:00,448
who are terrorizing the community,
646
00:42:00,550 --> 00:42:02,750
who are behaving like thugs.
647
00:42:02,853 --> 00:42:06,337
The Mandela United
football club has members
648
00:42:06,439 --> 00:42:07,822
who are accused of murder.
649
00:42:07,908 --> 00:42:09,240
That is nonsense.
650
00:42:14,664 --> 00:42:16,280
I will let the boys go if they want to.
651
00:42:16,383 --> 00:42:19,667
Get rid of them. I
have spoken on it now.
652
00:42:19,786 --> 00:42:22,921
I do not want to hear any
more about any of these things.
653
00:42:27,093 --> 00:42:30,512
It is quiet in this garden of yours.
654
00:42:30,597 --> 00:42:33,097
But out there, there is war.
655
00:42:33,183 --> 00:42:34,983
Then behave like a soldier.
656
00:42:35,085 --> 00:42:39,604
You must be disciplined and
learn to follow your leaders.
657
00:42:43,994 --> 00:42:48,112
You forget, I'm a leader too now.
658
00:42:57,974 --> 00:43:00,441
You have the arrogance
to come and tell me,
659
00:43:00,544 --> 00:43:04,128
after 53 years of service
to the National Party,
660
00:43:04,214 --> 00:43:07,215
pack your bags and go
and sit in the wilderness?
661
00:43:07,300 --> 00:43:10,335
What you fail to grasp is
that economics and politics
662
00:43:10,336 --> 00:43:11,836
cannot be separated.
663
00:43:11,938 --> 00:43:13,755
How long do you expect this to carry on?
664
00:43:13,857 --> 00:43:15,790
Two, three years?
665
00:43:15,892 --> 00:43:18,192
We are being strangled
by these sanctions
666
00:43:18,295 --> 00:43:20,245
and if the strikes on
the violence continues,
667
00:43:20,347 --> 00:43:22,647
there will be a full
scale bloody revolution.
668
00:43:25,335 --> 00:43:27,619
The cabinet is unanimous on this.
669
00:43:27,704 --> 00:43:29,370
We want you to retire willingly.
670
00:43:29,489 --> 00:43:33,124
Don't be mistaken. It is only our might
671
00:43:33,209 --> 00:43:34,976
that keeps the lid on
this pressure cooker
672
00:43:35,078 --> 00:43:37,078
that is South Africa.
673
00:43:37,163 --> 00:43:40,832
Take off the lid and
you will have Armageddon.
674
00:43:40,917 --> 00:43:42,634
The problem is most
of the party believes
675
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,136
we're dealing with Armageddon now.
676
00:43:45,221 --> 00:43:48,056
If we do change course,
the blood will flow
677
00:43:48,174 --> 00:43:50,308
ankle deep in our streets.
678
00:43:50,410 --> 00:43:53,094
Four, five million people
will lie dead and the situation
679
00:43:53,179 --> 00:43:56,931
will remain exactly the
same as it always was.
680
00:43:57,017 --> 00:44:00,318
We need to address the problem now
681
00:44:00,403 --> 00:44:02,670
before we have an all-out race war.
682
00:44:05,942 --> 00:44:09,527
I feel sorry for all of you.
683
00:44:12,415 --> 00:44:16,200
You will not be able to
control the forces you unleash.
684
00:44:24,177 --> 00:44:26,177
Breaking news, P.W. Botha
685
00:44:26,262 --> 00:44:28,296
has stepped down from office.
686
00:44:28,381 --> 00:44:30,465
The National Party
[unintelligible] has chosen
687
00:44:30,583 --> 00:44:31,849
Education Minister...
688
00:44:31,935 --> 00:44:35,136
Can you believe it? Botha is gone.
689
00:44:39,359 --> 00:44:40,975
What is it?
690
00:44:43,863 --> 00:44:45,730
Oliver has had a stroke.
691
00:44:48,852 --> 00:44:53,938
They have rushed him to Europe
for treatment but... it's bad.
692
00:44:55,191 --> 00:44:58,159
It seems he is paralyzed
down the whole right hand side
693
00:44:58,244 --> 00:45:02,246
of his body. And it
seems he... cannot speak.
694
00:45:15,428 --> 00:45:17,345
Oliver.
695
00:45:22,124 --> 00:45:23,306
The wall was crumbling.
696
00:45:23,408 --> 00:45:25,125
The sledgehammers in the hands of men
697
00:45:25,210 --> 00:45:27,210
not born when it went up.
698
00:45:27,296 --> 00:45:30,130
Then, just before 10
o'clock, the moment Berliners
699
00:45:30,215 --> 00:45:32,499
had waited 28 years for.
700
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,523
The symbol of the communist
701
00:45:39,641 --> 00:45:41,925
iron curtain has fallen.
702
00:45:42,027 --> 00:45:45,529
We are witnessing a
lifetime moment in history.
703
00:45:45,631 --> 00:45:47,564
The cold war is over.
704
00:45:48,901 --> 00:45:50,901
This symbolic breach in the structure
705
00:45:51,003 --> 00:45:53,653
that separated millions and claimed
706
00:45:53,755 --> 00:45:55,455
hundreds of lives.
707
00:45:55,557 --> 00:45:58,742
West German riot police
stop the crowds surging
708
00:45:58,827 --> 00:46:00,410
into communist soil.
709
00:46:00,496 --> 00:46:04,331
But, by then, they'd made their point.
710
00:46:04,416 --> 00:46:07,083
Dear President de Klerk,
711
00:46:07,169 --> 00:46:10,036
in this time of great
change around the world,
712
00:46:10,122 --> 00:46:12,923
it is my sincere wish that you and I
713
00:46:13,008 --> 00:46:16,009
may open a new dialogue
concerning the future
714
00:46:16,094 --> 00:46:17,694
of South Africa.
715
00:46:20,065 --> 00:46:21,932
You must give up this idea
716
00:46:22,034 --> 00:46:25,418
of group's rights and
separate homelands.
717
00:46:25,521 --> 00:46:28,688
It makes it look like you are
trying to reform apartheid,
718
00:46:28,774 --> 00:46:32,325
to make it acceptable instead
of abandoning it all together.
719
00:46:32,411 --> 00:46:34,995
But we have to deal with white
fears of black domination.
720
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,230
Then we have to change their thinking.
721
00:46:37,332 --> 00:46:39,199
The idea of different groups of people
722
00:46:39,284 --> 00:46:42,285
that is the cornerstone of apartheid.
723
00:46:42,371 --> 00:46:44,955
We want everyone in this
country to think of themselves
724
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,374
and everyone around
them as South Africans.
725
00:46:47,459 --> 00:46:50,627
Not as part of such and such a group.
726
00:46:50,712 --> 00:46:53,013
I'm a pragmatist, Mr. Mandela.
727
00:46:53,098 --> 00:46:55,465
We have to move towards
a workable solution.
728
00:46:55,551 --> 00:46:59,052
For too long, you and the ANC
have been seen as the problem,
729
00:46:59,137 --> 00:47:01,721
instead of part of the
solution to the problem.
730
00:47:01,807 --> 00:47:03,690
President de Klerk, I
believe that you are a man
731
00:47:03,775 --> 00:47:05,141
we can do business with.
732
00:47:05,227 --> 00:47:08,945
But it is pointless to continue
to talk about releasing me.
733
00:47:09,047 --> 00:47:13,600
If the ANC's conditions are
not met, they have not changed.
734
00:47:13,702 --> 00:47:17,704
Release political prisoners,
unban our organizations,
735
00:47:17,789 --> 00:47:19,406
allow the exiles to return home
736
00:47:19,491 --> 00:47:21,491
and lift this state of emergency.
737
00:47:46,485 --> 00:47:50,303
? Bring back Nelson Mandela ?
738
00:47:50,405 --> 00:47:54,641
? Bring him back home to Soweto ?
739
00:47:54,743 --> 00:47:58,144
? I want to see him
walking down the streets ?
740
00:47:58,246 --> 00:48:00,697
? Of South Africa ?
741
00:48:00,782 --> 00:48:03,416
? Hey! ?
? Bring back home ?
742
00:48:03,502 --> 00:48:07,120
? Bring back Nelson Mandela ?
743
00:48:07,205 --> 00:48:10,323
? Bring him back home to Soweto ?
744
00:48:10,425 --> 00:48:11,875
Today, after nearly
745
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,713
three decades in prison,
Nelson Mandela is a free man.
746
00:48:17,799 --> 00:48:21,351
Winnie Mandela at his
side, they walk together
747
00:48:21,470 --> 00:48:24,170
into a new future for South Africa.
748
00:48:37,786 --> 00:48:41,388
Sent to Robin Island at the age of 46,
749
00:48:41,490 --> 00:48:45,191
now leaving Victor Verster Prison at 72.
750
00:48:45,293 --> 00:48:47,127
He has never wavered in his commitment
751
00:48:47,212 --> 00:48:49,862
to his people, to justice.
752
00:48:49,965 --> 00:48:51,865
No matter the cost.
753
00:49:11,186 --> 00:49:15,655
? Bring back Nelson Mandela ?
754
00:49:15,741 --> 00:49:18,108
After so many years in Soweto,
755
00:49:18,193 --> 00:49:21,227
the ANC and its
supporters around the world
756
00:49:21,329 --> 00:49:24,030
must be savoring this day of victory.
757
00:49:24,116 --> 00:49:29,202
Vindication for their efforts
and a new era for their country.
758
00:49:29,304 --> 00:49:31,237
? Bring back Nelson Mandela ?
759
00:49:31,339 --> 00:49:34,791
? Bring him back home to Soweto ?
760
00:49:35,927 --> 00:49:39,713
? I want to see him
walking down the streets ?
761
00:49:49,808 --> 00:49:51,224
And the [unintelligible] starts
762
00:49:51,309 --> 00:49:53,977
moving past the jubilant
crowds and the many members...
763
00:49:54,062 --> 00:49:55,361
Who would ever have believed it?
764
00:49:55,447 --> 00:49:58,982
One day Nelson Mandela
would be a free man,
765
00:49:59,067 --> 00:50:02,435
that we were the ones who freed him.
766
00:50:02,537 --> 00:50:05,371
Just because Mandela is free,
767
00:50:05,457 --> 00:50:08,875
doesn't mean he or the ANC
is going to lead the country.
768
00:50:11,963 --> 00:50:14,214
Mr. President, Chief Buthelezi.
769
00:50:14,299 --> 00:50:18,418
Ah, come in. Chief
Buthelezi, my good friend.
770
00:50:19,755 --> 00:50:21,421
Good to see you.
771
00:50:24,342 --> 00:50:26,509
We have a lot to talk about.
772
00:50:26,628 --> 00:50:28,228
After his release,
773
00:50:28,313 --> 00:50:30,346
Mandela was driven to a massive rally
774
00:50:30,432 --> 00:50:32,732
at Cape Town city hall, where more than
775
00:50:32,818 --> 00:50:37,403
100,000 supporters
gathered to hear him speak.
776
00:50:37,489 --> 00:50:40,440
He delivered an
impassioned speech declaring
777
00:50:40,525 --> 00:50:43,860
a commitment to seek
peace and reconciliation
778
00:50:43,945 --> 00:50:47,997
and the birth of a democratic
and free South Africa.
779
00:50:57,209 --> 00:51:00,176
Desmond.
780
00:51:00,295 --> 00:51:02,045
Magnificent speech.
781
00:51:02,130 --> 00:51:04,047
Oh, thank you. I had to borrow
782
00:51:04,132 --> 00:51:05,765
my wife's glasses just to read it.
783
00:51:05,851 --> 00:51:08,351
One would never know.
784
00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:11,020
The whole world is stunned
at how good you look.
785
00:51:11,139 --> 00:51:12,722
And so am I.
786
00:51:14,142 --> 00:51:15,608
I have to stop pinching myself.
787
00:51:15,694 --> 00:51:18,528
- Are we dreaming?
- No, no. This is real.
788
00:51:18,647 --> 00:51:22,014
Heh. You are most welcome to
stay at my residence tonight,
789
00:51:22,100 --> 00:51:22,949
- my dear friend.
- Thank you.
790
00:51:23,034 --> 00:51:26,152
But I would like to sleep in
my own bed tonight in Soweto.
791
00:51:26,238 --> 00:51:28,371
But give me the honor of hosting, eh?
792
00:51:28,490 --> 00:51:32,575
It is late in the day and
we must think about security.
793
00:51:32,661 --> 00:51:34,244
A phone call for Madiba.
794
00:51:34,329 --> 00:51:36,329
Oh, phone call for you. It's Oliver.
795
00:51:36,414 --> 00:51:38,665
Yes. I will be back.
796
00:51:45,724 --> 00:51:49,092
Hello, Oliver, are you there?
797
00:51:49,194 --> 00:51:51,294
Madiba.
798
00:51:51,396 --> 00:51:52,929
Don't try to speak.
799
00:51:53,031 --> 00:51:57,300
I can hear you breathing.
I know you are there.
800
00:51:57,402 --> 00:52:00,003
I heard your...
801
00:52:00,105 --> 00:52:04,974
salute to me in your speech.
802
00:52:05,076 --> 00:52:09,662
Yes. Thank you for leading the ANC
803
00:52:09,764 --> 00:52:13,566
during the most difficult circumstances.
804
00:52:13,668 --> 00:52:18,438
And now you have to
fight for yourself, eh?
805
00:52:18,540 --> 00:52:20,640
For your health.
806
00:52:26,848 --> 00:52:30,683
It is so good to hear
you, my old friend.
807
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,273
- How does freedom feel?
- Oh, wonderful. Wonderful.
808
00:52:44,391 --> 00:52:45,974
We're proud of you, Mr. Mandela.
809
00:52:46,060 --> 00:52:47,643
- Excuse me. Excuse me.
- Thank you.
810
00:52:47,728 --> 00:52:50,229
- Good day. Good day.
- Excuse me.
811
00:52:50,314 --> 00:52:51,897
Thank you.
812
00:52:55,069 --> 00:52:56,568
Where is Winnie?
813
00:52:57,571 --> 00:52:59,238
She is there.
814
00:52:59,323 --> 00:53:00,973
Ah, I see.
815
00:53:04,628 --> 00:53:06,495
Are you having a good time?
816
00:53:08,516 --> 00:53:10,632
Yes, Tata.
817
00:53:10,751 --> 00:53:13,635
Bishop Tutu is insisting
that we stay here tonight.
818
00:53:15,923 --> 00:53:19,641
Why not? It is very
comfortable for you here.
819
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:24,313
And I would like to have
more private time for us.
820
00:53:26,350 --> 00:53:28,517
There is plenty time for that.
821
00:53:30,571 --> 00:53:32,154
- Excuse me, Madiba.
- Hmm?
822
00:53:32,273 --> 00:53:33,655
There is someone I
would like you to meet.
823
00:53:33,774 --> 00:53:35,274
Oh, all right.
824
00:54:27,244 --> 00:54:29,294
Jubilation as Nelson Mandela
825
00:54:29,380 --> 00:54:30,913
returned to his home in Soweto
826
00:54:30,998 --> 00:54:34,082
for the first time in 27 years.
827
00:54:34,168 --> 00:54:36,335
The day has passed by huge parades
828
00:54:36,420 --> 00:54:39,755
and dancing in the streets
as thousands of Sowetans
829
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,758
welcomed him back to the township.
830
00:54:42,843 --> 00:54:45,710
The release of Nelson Mandela
has been greeted with joy
831
00:54:45,813 --> 00:54:47,763
through most of South Africa.
832
00:54:50,017 --> 00:54:51,316
Heightened political tension
833
00:54:51,402 --> 00:54:54,603
surrounding Mandela's release
have triggered renewed fighting
834
00:54:54,688 --> 00:54:57,005
in several townships in this region.
835
00:54:57,107 --> 00:54:58,774
Violence has also increased between
836
00:54:58,876 --> 00:55:01,860
the mainly Zulu Inkatha Freedom Party
837
00:55:01,946 --> 00:55:03,779
and Nelson Mandela's now unbanned,
838
00:55:03,864 --> 00:55:05,914
African National Congress.
839
00:55:06,033 --> 00:55:08,617
Efforts of reconciliation
between Mr. Mandela
840
00:55:08,702 --> 00:55:11,870
and Chief Buthelezi have so far failed.
841
00:55:11,956 --> 00:55:14,423
These have been two
of the bloodiest months
842
00:55:14,541 --> 00:55:15,707
in the history...
843
00:55:21,599 --> 00:55:22,864
Please forgive me, Mr. President,
844
00:55:22,967 --> 00:55:24,900
if I begin by stating the obvious.
845
00:55:25,002 --> 00:55:27,619
It seems clear to me that
our first task must be
846
00:55:27,721 --> 00:55:29,688
to address the climate of violence
847
00:55:29,773 --> 00:55:32,774
and intimidation...
whatever the source may be,
848
00:55:32,893 --> 00:55:37,346
that must be a precondition
for any negotiation.
849
00:55:37,448 --> 00:55:38,730
Agreed.
850
00:55:38,832 --> 00:55:41,066
The ANC and the National
Party must both be able
851
00:55:41,151 --> 00:55:42,985
to state truthfully and sincerely
852
00:55:43,070 --> 00:55:46,305
that negotiations are being
conducted in good faith.
853
00:55:46,407 --> 00:55:51,827
Mr. Mandela, what other basis
can negotiations be conducted?
854
00:56:06,260 --> 00:56:09,394
I must meet face to face with Buthelezi.
855
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,013
It is the only solution.
856
00:56:11,098 --> 00:56:12,681
I don't think that will go down well.
857
00:56:14,985 --> 00:56:18,570
- Hello, darling. Walter.
- Winnie.
858
00:56:18,656 --> 00:56:22,324
Darling, will you make some
more tea for our guest, please?
859
00:56:22,443 --> 00:56:24,109
Yes, Tata.
860
00:56:24,194 --> 00:56:26,695
I will not defy the ANC on this.
861
00:56:26,780 --> 00:56:29,831
If I do so, I will look arrogant.
862
00:56:29,950 --> 00:56:32,200
I will respect the
collective leadership.
863
00:56:32,302 --> 00:56:37,039
But, if I could just sit down
with Buthelezi, face to face,
864
00:56:37,124 --> 00:56:39,257
perhaps we could resolve some of...
865
00:56:39,343 --> 00:56:41,710
Buthelezi is a political prostitute.
866
00:56:44,965 --> 00:56:47,799
The government knows that
if they keep stoking this war
867
00:56:47,901 --> 00:56:49,718
between Inkatha and the ANC,
868
00:56:49,820 --> 00:56:52,120
they'll be able to prolong
their stay in power.
869
00:56:52,222 --> 00:56:53,972
I have no reason to
believe that de Klerk
870
00:56:54,058 --> 00:56:56,274
is anything but a man of integrity.
871
00:56:56,377 --> 00:56:58,777
I do not believe he
wants to see this country
872
00:56:58,862 --> 00:57:00,278
burnt to the ground.
873
00:57:00,364 --> 00:57:04,149
Our people need power. They need arms.
874
00:57:04,234 --> 00:57:06,851
This repression and
the violence it creates
875
00:57:06,954 --> 00:57:10,122
cannot be ended if we attack each other.
876
00:57:10,207 --> 00:57:12,824
It is very well to think intellectually.
877
00:57:12,910 --> 00:57:15,827
But if you've seen young
children die in front of you
878
00:57:15,913 --> 00:57:17,579
and you've been tortured and abused,
879
00:57:17,664 --> 00:57:19,664
then you will know that if
you wake up in the middle
880
00:57:19,750 --> 00:57:20,999
of the night because of the screaming,
881
00:57:21,085 --> 00:57:22,250
you have a gun to reach for.
882
00:57:22,369 --> 00:57:24,252
So you meet brutality with brutality?
883
00:57:24,371 --> 00:57:27,489
There is only brutality out there.
884
00:57:30,244 --> 00:57:33,345
Don't worry about the tea, Winnie.
885
00:57:33,430 --> 00:57:34,763
I must be getting back.
886
00:57:34,848 --> 00:57:39,434
Don't get up. I will let myself out.
887
00:57:43,991 --> 00:57:45,357
Bye, Walter.
888
00:57:51,865 --> 00:57:56,001
When you finally go out there
and you meet with the people,
889
00:57:56,103 --> 00:57:57,586
you will feel their anger.
890
00:57:59,006 --> 00:58:02,824
I know what my own anger feels like,
891
00:58:02,926 --> 00:58:05,243
and I refuse to accept
892
00:58:05,329 --> 00:58:09,514
that our long sacrifice has
turned our hearts to stone.
893
00:58:09,616 --> 00:58:11,600
I have learned to remove anger...
894
00:58:13,220 --> 00:58:16,104
and bitterness from my heart
895
00:58:16,223 --> 00:58:20,976
because I know that
great anger and violence
896
00:58:21,078 --> 00:58:26,615
never built anything.
Least of all a nation.
897
00:58:40,841 --> 00:58:42,557
If you and Joe, with your
credentials as leaders
898
00:58:42,659 --> 00:58:44,909
of the armed struggle,
tried to sell this idea
899
00:58:45,012 --> 00:58:47,245
to the people, they will listen.
900
00:58:47,347 --> 00:58:49,664
But abandon the armed struggle now?
901
00:58:49,750 --> 00:58:53,618
Suspend it. We do not give up our arms.
902
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,388
It will put the onus back
on them and it will be
903
00:58:56,473 --> 00:58:58,306
what they least expect from us.
904
00:58:58,425 --> 00:59:01,393
I hear this, Nelson. But
the Government is behind
905
00:59:01,478 --> 00:59:04,062
the Third Force that's creating
violence in our township.
906
00:59:04,147 --> 00:59:05,180
I'm sure of it.
907
00:59:05,282 --> 00:59:07,248
Yes. But we don't know for sure.
908
00:59:07,351 --> 00:59:10,385
Call their bluff. We
suspend the armed struggle.
909
00:59:10,487 --> 00:59:13,488
We show them our peaceful intentions.
910
00:59:13,590 --> 00:59:15,640
It will be a bold and decisive move.
911
00:59:15,742 --> 00:59:19,110
But we must have the courage to take it.
912
00:59:22,616 --> 00:59:24,032
Once again, a political march
913
00:59:24,117 --> 00:59:27,002
through a South African
city has turned to violence
914
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,538
as tension builds in
this country by the day.
915
00:59:30,624 --> 00:59:31,956
Smoke cleared to reveal
916
00:59:32,042 --> 00:59:34,826
the casualties of the
city center battle.
917
00:59:34,928 --> 00:59:38,129
The bloody streets of a country
whose transition to democracy
918
00:59:38,215 --> 00:59:40,515
is becoming increasingly murderous.
919
00:59:40,634 --> 00:59:42,801
I had nothing to do with
the training of Inkatha
920
00:59:42,886 --> 00:59:44,669
or the money that went to them.
921
00:59:44,771 --> 00:59:46,321
I've got no idea where
this is coming from.
922
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,675
Are you telling me that you
know nothing of a Third Force?
923
00:59:50,777 --> 00:59:55,012
This is just as much a
mystery to me as it is to you.
924
00:59:55,115 --> 00:59:57,348
I've been told this is a tribal thing.
925
00:59:57,451 --> 00:59:59,868
That is nonsense and you know it.
926
00:59:59,986 --> 01:00:02,620
I am beginning to doubt
your peaceful intentions,
927
01:00:02,723 --> 01:00:04,489
President de Klerk.
928
01:00:04,574 --> 01:00:06,875
Mr. Mandela,
929
01:00:06,993 --> 01:00:10,712
I only want a peaceful
solution for South Africa.
930
01:00:10,814 --> 01:00:15,650
There is no Third Force
operating under my orders.
931
01:00:15,752 --> 01:00:17,836
I cannot control this violence.
932
01:00:19,890 --> 01:00:21,973
If the people who are
dying out there were white,
933
01:00:22,059 --> 01:00:23,892
would you still tell me that?
934
01:00:26,813 --> 01:00:29,381
Black lives are cheap.
935
01:00:29,483 --> 01:00:31,383
I do not think that.
936
01:00:32,919 --> 01:00:35,420
President de Klerk, I have
called you a man of integrity
937
01:00:35,522 --> 01:00:37,972
as we try to move forward.
938
01:00:38,075 --> 01:00:40,275
I so want to believe that you are.
939
01:01:01,848 --> 01:01:04,149
Are you taking another trip?
940
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,770
How long are you going for, this time?
941
01:01:23,370 --> 01:01:24,786
You are leaving me?
942
01:01:29,910 --> 01:01:32,961
I can no longer reconcile
myself with your behavior.
943
01:01:33,079 --> 01:01:36,548
So you talk to all those
Afrikaners who tortured me,
944
01:01:36,633 --> 01:01:40,301
who destroyed our family
life and butchered our people.
945
01:01:40,420 --> 01:01:43,972
But me...
946
01:01:44,090 --> 01:01:46,141
Am I not good enough to talk to?
947
01:01:47,727 --> 01:01:49,561
Am I not worth your forgiveness?
948
01:01:49,646 --> 01:01:53,848
- It's not the same thing.
- How is it not the same thing?
949
01:02:04,945 --> 01:02:09,164
I have been home for weeks. Weeks.
950
01:02:09,282 --> 01:02:14,619
Not once have you come to
our bed unless you thought
951
01:02:14,704 --> 01:02:16,955
that I was asleep.
952
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,341
You've been home [unintelligible].
953
01:02:20,460 --> 01:02:21,743
You don't know me anymore.
954
01:02:21,845 --> 01:02:26,881
I will never regret
building a life with you
955
01:02:26,967 --> 01:02:29,467
or all the love and
affection I have felt for you.
956
01:02:31,872 --> 01:02:33,838
All of these years,
957
01:02:33,924 --> 01:02:36,474
from the moment I
first met you, Nomzamo.
958
01:02:39,479 --> 01:02:42,981
Then stay with me.
959
01:02:43,083 --> 01:02:45,683
It will be like it was before.
960
01:02:45,785 --> 01:02:47,902
That way that it was before...
961
01:02:52,792 --> 01:02:54,492
that way is no more.
962
01:03:21,417 --> 01:03:25,252
Is it true that you are
Comrade Oliver Tambo?
963
01:03:26,672 --> 01:03:31,425
Is it true that you are Nelson Mandela?
964
01:03:42,371 --> 01:03:46,307
Chris has just come from a
tour of our military camps.
965
01:03:46,409 --> 01:03:50,744
He says that there is a serious lack
of health facilities in Tanzania.
966
01:03:50,846 --> 01:03:52,363
He is a good commander,
967
01:03:52,448 --> 01:03:54,081
but I know that he will resist
968
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:58,552
this idea for us to pull
back our military offensive.
969
01:03:58,654 --> 01:04:00,955
These are the qualities of a General.
970
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,756
Our new generation is in good hands.
971
01:04:02,875 --> 01:04:05,592
Yes, but you must help
him to understand, Oliver,
972
01:04:05,711 --> 01:04:09,863
that to suspend the violence now
will help with our negotiations.
973
01:04:09,966 --> 01:04:14,885
Yes, this de Klerk,
what do you make of him?
974
01:04:14,971 --> 01:04:17,104
He says he is committed
to bringing forth
975
01:04:17,223 --> 01:04:19,273
a true democracy and an election.
976
01:04:19,392 --> 01:04:22,509
But, I am not sure that
his intentions are clear.
977
01:04:22,611 --> 01:04:25,429
During my travels this
month, it has become apparent
978
01:04:25,531 --> 01:04:28,699
that he is not happy with
the international community
979
01:04:28,784 --> 01:04:30,868
wanting to support the ANC.
980
01:04:30,953 --> 01:04:33,537
So I will continue to
work with him in the hope
981
01:04:33,622 --> 01:04:36,407
that he will keep his promise.
982
01:04:36,492 --> 01:04:39,760
- Mmm.
- Look here.
983
01:04:39,862 --> 01:04:41,945
What do you think?
Shall we have a snort?
984
01:04:42,048 --> 01:04:44,081
Or is it against doctor's orders?
985
01:04:44,183 --> 01:04:46,133
We will account this as
one of our top secrets.
986
01:04:46,252 --> 01:04:48,002
- Yes, yes.
- Do not Adelaide.
987
01:04:48,087 --> 01:04:50,787
Did someone say Adelaide?
988
01:04:53,259 --> 01:04:55,959
It's almost four o'clock, Oliver.
989
01:04:56,062 --> 01:04:58,929
We just sat down.
990
01:04:59,015 --> 01:05:02,066
You see? She is a dictator.
991
01:05:02,151 --> 01:05:03,633
And not the benevolent kind, either.
992
01:05:04,937 --> 01:05:07,354
You are lucky to have
such a loving wife.
993
01:05:13,446 --> 01:05:18,449
I cannot remember the last
time I had so much fun.
994
01:05:28,461 --> 01:05:29,843
Madiba.
995
01:05:34,984 --> 01:05:39,019
- Now is the time.
- Now is the time.
996
01:05:39,138 --> 01:05:42,222
Now is the time.
997
01:05:42,308 --> 01:05:45,893
Nelson Mandela!
998
01:05:45,978 --> 01:05:49,613
Nelson Mandela! Nelson Mandela!
999
01:05:49,698 --> 01:05:53,317
Nelson Mandela! Nelson Mandela!
1000
01:06:02,161 --> 01:06:05,362
We want to unite our people.
1001
01:06:05,464 --> 01:06:09,166
Not just Indians, coloreds, Afrikaans.
1002
01:06:09,251 --> 01:06:14,371
We want to unite Afrikaans,
coloreds, Indians and whites.
1003
01:06:14,473 --> 01:06:18,642
This is why we have been
talking with the National Party.
1004
01:06:18,727 --> 01:06:21,512
We want this peace.
1005
01:06:21,597 --> 01:06:24,431
This spirit of reconciliation,
1006
01:06:24,517 --> 01:06:30,154
this spirit must not only unite
the government and ourselves,
1007
01:06:30,239 --> 01:06:34,441
it must build and bring our people.
1008
01:06:34,527 --> 01:06:37,494
Those who have been
working with the enemy,
1009
01:06:37,580 --> 01:06:42,366
they must now work with us to
build this new South Africa.
1010
01:06:48,174 --> 01:06:53,260
I give you now our soldier
for peace, Chris Hani.
1011
01:07:05,524 --> 01:07:07,724
Mandela for President!
1012
01:07:07,810 --> 01:07:09,393
Our President!
1013
01:07:09,478 --> 01:07:11,778
Mandela for President!
1014
01:07:11,897 --> 01:07:13,697
Our President!
1015
01:07:45,314 --> 01:07:46,713
- Here's to Nelson.
- Nelson.
1016
01:07:46,815 --> 01:07:48,315
- Nelson.
- Cheers.
1017
01:07:48,417 --> 01:07:51,802
Cheers.
1018
01:07:51,904 --> 01:07:53,353
So, well. What is to be done
1019
01:07:53,439 --> 01:07:55,722
with Buthelezi and his right-wingers?
1020
01:07:55,824 --> 01:07:58,192
It's clear they don't want
these negotiations to work.
1021
01:07:58,277 --> 01:08:00,444
They don't want an election.
1022
01:08:00,529 --> 01:08:03,580
Well, we've suspended our
military might in good faith.
1023
01:08:03,666 --> 01:08:08,902
I now believe that our only
offense is... our message.
1024
01:08:09,004 --> 01:08:11,121
Their strategy is to divide.
1025
01:08:11,207 --> 01:08:13,123
- Ours must be to unite.
- Mmhm.
1026
01:08:13,209 --> 01:08:14,758
And that's the message you
must take to the people.
1027
01:08:14,843 --> 01:08:17,094
It was indeed Samora who said:
1028
01:08:17,179 --> 01:08:21,632
"For the nation to leave,
the tribe must die."
1029
01:08:21,717 --> 01:08:24,017
So I have your support?
1030
01:08:24,136 --> 01:08:25,835
Yes, yes, of course.
1031
01:08:25,938 --> 01:08:29,723
We still have our might, Chris. Hmm?
1032
01:09:31,957 --> 01:09:33,657
The assassination of Chris Hani
1033
01:09:33,658 --> 01:09:36,693
has unleashed a profound
sense of frustration and anger
1034
01:09:36,778 --> 01:09:39,996
amongst South African
youth sparking widespread
1035
01:09:40,082 --> 01:09:42,582
protests and rioting.
1036
01:09:42,701 --> 01:09:45,952
The country now stands
on the brink of civil war.
1037
01:09:51,593 --> 01:09:55,912
Tonight I am reaching out to
every single South African,
1038
01:09:56,014 --> 01:09:59,015
black and white.
1039
01:09:59,117 --> 01:10:02,869
A white man full of prejudice and hate
1040
01:10:02,971 --> 01:10:07,640
committed a deed so foul
that now our whole country
1041
01:10:07,726 --> 01:10:10,477
teeters on the brink of disaster.
1042
01:10:10,579 --> 01:10:14,581
The cold-blooded murder
of Chris Hani has sent
1043
01:10:14,683 --> 01:10:19,268
shockwaves throughout
our country and the world.
1044
01:10:19,371 --> 01:10:23,907
Our grief and our anger...
1045
01:10:24,009 --> 01:10:26,576
is tearing us apart.
1046
01:10:26,678 --> 01:10:31,598
Now is the time for all South Africans
1047
01:10:31,700 --> 01:10:33,633
to stand together
1048
01:10:33,735 --> 01:10:38,338
against those who wish
to destroy what Chris Hani
1049
01:10:38,423 --> 01:10:43,176
gave his life for, the
freedom of all of us.
1050
01:10:43,278 --> 01:10:47,730
Now is the time for
our white compatriots
1051
01:10:47,833 --> 01:10:49,332
to reach out
1052
01:10:49,434 --> 01:10:53,153
with an understanding
of the grievous loss
1053
01:10:53,271 --> 01:10:55,488
to our nation.
1054
01:10:55,607 --> 01:11:00,476
Now is the time for the police to act
1055
01:11:00,579 --> 01:11:05,582
with sensitivity and restraint.
1056
01:11:05,667 --> 01:11:10,136
This is a watershed moment
1057
01:11:10,255 --> 01:11:12,288
for all of us.
1058
01:11:22,534 --> 01:11:25,385
He was the young leader
that we all prayed for.
1059
01:11:25,470 --> 01:11:27,971
He was like a son to me.
1060
01:11:28,056 --> 01:11:30,807
Me too. And our future.
1061
01:11:32,561 --> 01:11:35,178
You did well, Madiba.
1062
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:39,149
The entire nation was
calmed by your words.
1063
01:11:39,234 --> 01:11:42,035
We need a date for the election.
1064
01:11:42,154 --> 01:11:46,189
A real date set in stone.
1065
01:11:46,291 --> 01:11:49,042
There is still a chance.
1066
01:11:49,161 --> 01:11:52,962
We have to divert a crisis.
1067
01:11:53,048 --> 01:11:58,001
It could cripple our
country for years to come.
1068
01:11:58,086 --> 01:12:00,720
We still have a chance.
1069
01:12:00,839 --> 01:12:04,090
We will have an election
with or without those
1070
01:12:04,176 --> 01:12:07,043
who are against it.
1071
01:12:07,145 --> 01:12:10,230
We will frustrate the objective
1072
01:12:10,348 --> 01:12:13,549
of the people who killed Chris.
1073
01:12:13,652 --> 01:12:16,019
We will have an election.
1074
01:13:05,153 --> 01:13:07,053
Yes? Hello?
1075
01:13:15,463 --> 01:13:16,913
Where is he?
1076
01:14:08,483 --> 01:14:11,868
All those years ago in prison
1077
01:14:11,970 --> 01:14:16,222
I had a conversation
with you in my head.
1078
01:14:19,728 --> 01:14:25,565
Then, I was lucky enough to
talk to you again in person.
1079
01:14:36,611 --> 01:14:39,996
I suppose now I shall have
to wait to see you again,
1080
01:14:41,333 --> 01:14:43,583
to talk to you on the other side.
1081
01:16:22,516 --> 01:16:26,068
You bought us our first
decent suits, Walter.
1082
01:16:26,453 --> 01:16:30,155
You encouraged us to
practice law together.
1083
01:16:30,257 --> 01:16:33,392
You groomed us to be leaders, Walter.
1084
01:16:33,494 --> 01:16:35,711
You were being groomed
by the cause long before
1085
01:16:35,813 --> 01:16:38,580
I met you. I just...
1086
01:16:38,682 --> 01:16:41,049
recognized qualities in both of you.
1087
01:16:41,151 --> 01:16:44,786
I still see things in you
that you don't see in yourself.
1088
01:16:48,092 --> 01:16:51,877
You have experienced great
loss in your life, Nelson.
1089
01:16:51,979 --> 01:16:55,981
But you have a limitless
capacity to love.
1090
01:16:56,083 --> 01:16:57,799
You must not think this is the end
1091
01:16:57,901 --> 01:16:59,418
of happiness for you.
1092
01:17:09,446 --> 01:17:11,113
Hello?
1093
01:17:11,198 --> 01:17:12,280
Yes?
1094
01:17:13,450 --> 01:17:14,649
Yes.
1095
01:17:14,752 --> 01:17:16,451
Set in stone.
1096
01:17:17,654 --> 01:17:19,121
Ha.
1097
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,623
That is good.
1098
01:17:27,314 --> 01:17:33,185
We have an interim constitution
and an election date.
1099
01:17:33,287 --> 01:17:37,305
27th April, 1994.
1100
01:17:42,980 --> 01:17:47,149
It's what the three of us always wanted.
1101
01:18:13,143 --> 01:18:15,677
Even my parents, who have passed away,
1102
01:18:15,762 --> 01:18:18,013
have been wishing to see this one day.
1103
01:18:18,098 --> 01:18:22,150
They couldn't. But today
I have voted for them.
1104
01:18:22,236 --> 01:18:24,319
There are people who died for this.
1105
01:18:24,404 --> 01:18:27,272
Most people who fought for
this, they are not here.
1106
01:18:27,357 --> 01:18:29,941
They couldn't take us
to the promised land,
1107
01:18:30,027 --> 01:18:32,077
but now here we are.
1108
01:20:41,791 --> 01:20:44,976
Mr. Mandela? Mr. Mandela?
1109
01:20:49,466 --> 01:20:52,650
Are you ready to take
the oath of office, Sir?
1110
01:21:07,067 --> 01:21:10,652
The truth is that we are not yet free.
1111
01:21:10,737 --> 01:21:14,405
We have merely achieved
the freedom to be free,
1112
01:21:14,524 --> 01:21:17,742
the right not to be oppressed.
1113
01:21:17,827 --> 01:21:22,397
We have not yet taken that
final step of our journey.
1114
01:21:22,499 --> 01:21:28,136
But the first step on a
longer, more difficult road.
1115
01:21:28,221 --> 01:21:33,424
But to be free is not merely
to cast off one's chains,
1116
01:21:33,510 --> 01:21:37,545
but to live in a way
that respects and enhances
1117
01:21:37,647 --> 01:21:41,049
the freedom of others.
1118
01:21:41,151 --> 01:21:46,721
The true test of our devotion
to freedom is just beginning.
