Idris Elba has taken on the role of a lifetime as he portrays African icon and leader Nelson Mandela. Mandela: Road to Freedom is a biography of the early life and struggle of Nelson Mandela and his rise to world wide leadership and humanitarianism. While the actor comment about his not looking like Nelson Mandela, as we can see from the trailer below, he is sure to give a memorable portrayal as he transforms before our eyes into the character Mandela.
Although it was a high fashion and Rock and Roll hosted event among all the leather and lace, among all the flashing lights and hairspray the message of Mandela and his impact and his determination are well told in this moving picture. See the pics from the “red carpet” and the trailer below.
