The World Will Never Forget
Nelson Mandela is considered to be a man who changed the world. His triumph had worldwide repercussions. Beyond his strategic political skills and fierce intellect Mandela managed to achieve peace for his country on the brink of civil war. He did this in a manner that no other leader in history has been able to achieve: by getting into the mind of the enemy, understanding the enemy, and finally forgiving the enemy. He has already gone down in a history as not only the greatest statesman of his time, but also as a great humanitarian.
"Each and every crew and cast member knuckled-down to contribute his or her expertise to make the best possible movie," acknowledges Singh. "The story resonates with every South African and everyone felt pride and ownership. Despite the size of the film we were one big family and regardless of the position anyone held, we all felt very privileged to have had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work on this remarkable story."
"Every day when I walked on that set, it reminded me that I was in a moment when I was part of something really special, something that will always be remembered." says Gordon.
Singh adds: "Here we are today, able to tell this story in a way that is so accurate, so that the world in fifty years or a hundred years from now, can see this film and be able to say, 'You know, that was an amazing journey. You can't believe that happened. 'Mandela's story stands apart and above. It is a cinematic acknowledgement that will hopefully inspire us, and the world."
