Very much enjoyed watching the movie Mandela and de Klerk, the story of Nelson Mandela played by the wonderful Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine as F.W. de Klerk. Of course the acting is excellent and the story is riveting and what a relief: No profanity or nudity. Unfortunately, because of the nature of apartheid/segregation, violence was depicted in a graphic manner--all offset by the stimulating conversations of Mandela and de Klerk in their attempts to end the violence and end segregation in South Africa. This film inspires because it shows what one majestic man and his followers did to change the history of segregation in South Africa. Poitier is a credit to his race and his profession and Caine certainly does a swell job in his role. Four stars to this well-produced film set in Cape Town, South Africa.
