The Trials of Winnie Mandela Season 1 Episode 5

In 1997, Winnie and members of the Mandela United Football Club are subpoenaed before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. For over a week, the nation listens to harrowing testimony – accounts of torture, assault, disappearance and death allegedly carried out in her name. Victims speak. Former comrades speak. The country watches. Winnie stands defiant, offering explanation but little remorse.
