Mandela at 90

After years of retirement from political life, Nelson Mandela, the world's most admired statesman, allows cameras into his private world.

After years of retirement from political life, the world's most admired statesman has allowed cameras into his private world. Mandela at 90 reveals a man of flesh and blood; irreverent, never cowed by authority and a formidable charmer who, perhaps surprisingly, looks back on his life behind bars with a degree of fondness. Unique behind-the-scenes footage offers a window into his world and his unexpected insights into his northern nemesis Robert Mugabe.
