To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the release of Nelson Mandela from the Victor Verster prison, e.tv is set to air an exclusive documentary, entitled First Step to Freedom, next Wednesday evening, 10 February at 20:00.
It will then be exactly 20 years ago that Nelson Mandela walked free on 11 February, 1990 while the world's media jostled for position to broadcast the event live just outside the Victor Verster prison. Director and cameraman Craig Matthew captured the historical moment and now, in First Step to Freedom, he will show never-before-seen footage of the day for the first time.
In First Step to Freedom viewers will be able to see all the preparations that was involved pre-release and viewers will also get to hear in Nelson Mandela's own words how it felt to have his first taste of freedom after being imprisoned for 27 years. Then-president, F.W. de Klerk also features in the doccie.
