MANDELA VS. DE KLERK

Their rivalry has often changed society

An episode from the series FACE TO FACE

Synopsis

Would Nelson Mandela have gone down in history without Frederik de Klerk? The question is more than pertinent given the extent to which the destinies of South Africa first black president and the last leader of the apartheid regime are linked.

From the liberation of the ANC leader in 1990 to his election in 1994, and even later, the 2 enemies fought a bitter battle in a context of horrendous violence, which left more than 14,000 dead.

Through unrelenting negotiations and political and personal conflicts, this film takes us to the heart of a duel that put an end to the most despicable political regime on the planet.
