EPISODE
Madiba - Season 1
We live here in a series of powerful events that reflect a strong drama we live with Nelson and his long-standing struggle. This powerful series begins with several events, most notably Nelson serving a life sentence on Robben Island, which could derail his struggle. But on the other hand, his friend Oliver keeps the struggle alive overseas in order to achieve the required tasks.
