Synopsis

Nelson Mandela is born into a chief's family, but when his father asserts his authority the magistrate confiscates his land, home, and cattle. After the death of Mandela's father, the Regent sponsors the young man's education, even at the almost-unprecedented university level, grooming him as a counselor to the king. Conflicts with the regent, and with the university principal, lead Mandela and Justice (the regent's son) to steal some of the regent's cattle, sell them, and escape to Johannesburg.
