Peter contributes to the new documentary airing on Channel 4 in the UK at the moment, called Free Nelson Mandela.
Free Nelson Mandela is the story of the biggest campaign for a single prisoner in history, and the man who became, for many, the greatest politician of the 20thcentury. The series documents Mandela’s journey from activist to revolutionary, from prisoner to negotiator and how he led South Africa to democracy from a prison cell. The image of Mandela walking free from prison after 27 years is one of the most iconic in history. It took a fierce political struggle and cultural battle to bring about his freedom, producing a global people-powered movement and an explosion of musical activism
With extensive access to those who fought for his freedom and the people at the heart of the anti-apartheid movement, including some of the world’s biggest music stars and hours of previously unseen material, this three-part series, for the first time, tells the story in full.
