When their shantytowns are threatened with mass eviction, three “young lions” of South Africa’s new generation refuse to be moved from their homes. Dear Mandela follows their journey from their shacks to the highest court in the land as they invoke Nelson Mandela’s example and become leaders in a growing social movement. Dear Mandela offers a new perspective on the role that young people can play in political change and is a fascinating portrait of South Africa coming of age.
