From Nelson Mandela's imprisonment to his release to the present-day celebrations of his legacy, this inspirational film tracks the music born out of the former South African President fight for freedom, and how it became both a unifying force and weapon against apartheid. Combining striking visuals with performances by celebrated artists like Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the Soweto Gospel Choir, and Mandela's grandson Bambatha Mandela, Music for Mandela is a stirring tribute to the man himself—and to the ultimate power of music.
