Revealing A Truly Extraordinary Man. With unprecedented access to Nelson Mandela, world leaders and those closest to him, this is the story of Mandela seen through his own eyes and through the recollections of both famous and ordinary people who have played a part in his life – from jailer to president. The documentary follows Mandela over six months in 2002 as he goes about his day-to-day activities in Europe, Asia, Africa and America, from filming a television campaign to going hippo-watching on safari with close friend Bill Clinton.
