As a South African I will never understand why American movie production studios feel it alright to hijack other people's stories and make them their own. If it was their intention to make a movie about how Nelson and Winnie's love was strained to the former's prison sentence, why didn't they stay authentic and get the appropriate actors. A film about South Africa should include South African actors not American one's doing this for the faux-glory with false performances and accents that are not up to scratch.

South African actors have to watch in heartbreak as their employment opportunities are stolen by American actors hunting for awards.

As a South African I am eternally grateful that Mandela is no longer sane enough to see his name slandered by an ill-equiped actor. I am also glad that Winnie has said that she will NOT watch this movie. It is insulting, disrespectful, fake and hurtful. I sincerely hope that this movie is a failure.
