| Description: |
| Twelve Disciples of Nelson Mandela: A Son’s Tribute to Unsung Heroes is Thomas Allen Harris’ bittersweet eulogy to his stepfather, Benjamin Pule Leinaeng (Lee) and to the thousands of other South Africans who went into exile to keep the freedom struggle alive during the harshest years of apartheid. Through the stories of 12 young comrades from Bloemfontein, this film shows how over 30 years the African National Congress (ANC) built a successful worldwide movement which eventually toppled the white supremacist regime. At the same time it provides a unique, intimate look at the painful trade-offs between public and private lives which almost all the political activists and their families experience. |
