GMA News TV airs Mandela docu special
MANILA, Philippines - GMA News TV will be airing a tribute to the late Nelson Mandela (photo), the former South African President who stood as a beacon of hope to a country fractured by apartheid or racial segregation.
Mandela was a shining example of what one man can do to change the world. Born into an oppressive regime, he fought to overcome prejudice and hate to unify a nation. He was imprisoned for decades because of his beliefs. His dedication resulted in his inauguration as the first black President of South Africa, his award of the Nobel Peace Prize and ultimately, his role in overthrowing the apartheid regime.
The documentary One Man not only traces the personal story and struggle of South Africa’s most famous leader but also charts the history of racism in the country. Dubbed in Filipino, the docu will air on Dec. 20 at 8 p.m.
