Mandela: The Living Legend

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mandela: The Living Legend is a 2003 BBC documentary on the life of activist Nelson Mandela.[1] It is a two-part documentary created by Dominic Allan with a one-person crew.[2] Writing for The Guardian, Kathryn Flett described the documentary as "reverent and occasionally revealing" but concluded that it "wasn't the most penetrating and wildly insightful documentary ever made".[3] In a review of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom in Grantland, Wesley Morris described Mandela: The Living Legend as "chillingly patient" and "perfectly narrated by David Dimbleby".[4]
