MANDELA: A Long Walk to Freedom

A couple of weeks ago I read an article on this film in which it stated that it should be compulsory viewing for everybody.

There was also the chance to win tickets to the film.  I entered and, on Monday, received news that I had won tickets for two.

We went today and , even though it is a long film (147 minutes) and I am overtired at present it held our attention from start to finish and I thoroughly recommend it.

It went through his life until he became president.  10/10


Apart from that we had a busy weekend with the Whangarei Garden Discovery and the end of the Sculpture Symposium.  Photos to be posted later.

  1. It is a good thing you went to that film as it forced you to sit still for a time. Heavens, you are a very busy lady ;o)

    1. Good point!!! I hope things will slow down a bit now. There has been a lot on in Whangarei over summer and I have endeavoured to go to everything that sounded of interest.

  2. Oh wow - that's fantastic, Sue. I'd love to see that film sometime too. The premier was in London on the day that he died, so a lovely tribute to a great man.

    1. We were so pleased we went - not pleasant in places but that is the way things were then.

  3. I'm glad you found time in your busy schedule for what I've heard is a very good film. You've had a hectic winter.
