See two exclusive clips from the film below that feature Rory, a white South African and former member of Special Branch, the department of the South African police force tasked with breaking up anti-Apartheid groups. In his quest to create a unified South Africa, Mandela chose to integrate his personal security team, asking former members of Special Branch to join anti-Apartheid leaders to protect him during one of the most dangerous political regime changes in history. Needless to say, Mandela’s presence had a tremendous impact on Rory and his views on race. Watch the clips below.
