POWER OF WORDS SHORT FILMS – STREAMING ON VIVA NATION TV

With Nelson Mandela’s birthday last week, an initiative to honour the icon who captivated the world has been made available in this five-part short doccie series.  Each film embodies a famous quote from Madiba, bringing together five filmmakers who have interpreted a quote from him in their own way.  The result is a combination of diverse narratives with Madiba’s wisdom at their centre, seen through a cinematic lens.
