ANANT SINGH
In 2013, over fifteen years after the film rights had been acquired, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom was released in theatres. On December 5, the royal premiere was held in London. Everyone from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Nelson Mandela’s daughters Zindzi and Zenani were in attendance. The film finished to thunderous applause. Producer Anant Singh took to the stage. Rather than a self-congratulatory speech, he was there to make a sombre announcement: Madiba had died.
