The Trials of Winnie Mandela Season 1 Episode 4

Nelson Mandela walks free, Apartheid falls and becomes President of a democratic South Africa. The love story that once captivated the world fractures under the weight of politics and ideology. Winnie faces a kidnapping charge and is linked to a romantic relationship with a young lawyer. As President, Nelson removes her from his cabinet, citing her disregard for his leadership and negotiated settlement. Winnie remains unapologetic, rejecting compromise she believes betrayed revolutionary ideals. The separation that follows marks the end of both a marriage and a political partnership that once symbolised hope.
