Free Nelson Mandela

As Mandela is jailed for life in 1964, activists and musicians rise against apartheid. A fierce political struggle and cultural battle - which will last for decades - has just begun.

The growing anti-apartheid movement press for sanctions. Thatcher, Reagan and others resist, but the stirring protest song Free Nelson Mandela becomes a global anthem for change.

The hit protest song Sun City and a Wembley concert help turn the tide. US banks pull out of South Africa as at last apartheid falters. Mandela walks free. But at what cost?
