Twelve Disciples of Nelson Mandela
Confronted with the death of his stepfather, director Thomas Allen Harris embarks on a journey to understand the man who raised him, Pule Benjamin Leinaeng, an ANC foot-soldier who sacrificed his life for the freedom of his native South Africa. As part of the first wave of South African freedom fighters, Lee and his comrades left their homeland in 1960 to broadcast to the world the brutality of apartheid and to raise support for the African National Congress and its leaders, Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo.
