Mandela while Jennifer Hudson plays Winnie,
based on the story of Winnie Mandela, Nelson
Mandela's ex wife.The movie is set
to start production on May 31 in Cape Town,
Johannesburg and Robben Island, where Nelson
Mandela was held prisoner for 18 of his 27 years
in prison.
While Nelson Mandela is a universally
sympathetic figure for his struggle against
apartheid, his former wife is a far more
complicated figure. She has been depicted as the
mother and wife who was a steadfast supporter
of her activist husband and who was jailed
herself for campaigning for his release and
fighting against apartheid. Her image was
subsequently tarnished by association with a
bodyguard who murdered a 14-year old alleged
informer, and she was later convicted of fraud.
