Just hours before the death of Nelson Mandela, his daughter Zindzi paid tribute to her father
at the UK premiere of the film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, which tells the incredible
story of his life.
I'm just so proud to see his sacrifice has been documented in this manner, and the celebration
of his life, especially now in his sunset years.
It's gone way beyond my expectations, and I'm truly proud of what they have done. What
Justin Chadwick and the actors, the South African actors, Idris and Naomie. I just think
they've done an impeccable job.
Do you think he captured your father's spirit?
Especially as somebody who hasn't even met him. My 11-year-old grandchild, she made that
comment. She said you know that dude who plays granddad, like when he talks it kind of reminds
me of him. So that's from an 11-year-old just like says it all.
Has your father seen the film? And what does he think of it?
He's seen video clips. He's just seen a few clips of the movie, and he actually thought
that it looks exactly like him.
