R.I.P Madiba

As i was posting about the film Mandela : Long Way  To Freedom I receive an alert from the New York Times and the Guardian : Nelson Mandela, the towering figure of Africa‘s struggle for freedom and a hero to millions around the world, has died at the age of 95.

From prisoner to president , and in our violent times, it is so inspiring to believe in a man who led the fight for freedom and against oppression at the cost of his own , and  achieving his goal in a non violent way.

Mandela was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 1993.

I just saw the biopic Mandela : Long Way  to Freedom . It is an essential movie and the best biopic i have seen so far . Idris Elba who plays Mandela , deserves an Oscar for his performance.

See it .

Here is the trailer .
