Countdown To Freedom (DVD)

Countdown To Freedom chronicles the ten days leading up to and following South Africa's first free and fair multi-racial elections, an event of historical importance marking the end of decades of Apartheid rule in South Africa.

It was produced at Nelson Mandela's personal invitation who promised unique access and editorial autonomy because of his expectation that the news coverage would be superficial.

Countdown To Freedom takes up Mandela's challenge to go beneath the surface and behind the scenes to examine how his unprecedented campaign was run, explore the meaning and importance of democracy in South Africa, and cover the campaigns as well as the issues they evoked.
