As a lawyer, Nelson Mandela stands up in court for the interests of the black population, who are discriminated against by South Africa's apartheid regime. Over the years, it becomes clearer that this will not achieve any change. He joins the African National Congress ANC, a movement with a militant wing that rebels against the government. He makes a name for himself with his rhetorical skills and takes part in preparations for attacks. He is soon considered a terrorist. He spent 27 years in Robben Island prison and once again became an advocate of non-violent resistance. After his release, he becomes the first black president of South Africa and his political significance extends beyond the country's borders, inspiring all those who fight for freedom and justice.
