“ONE MAN: NELSON MANDELA”

Airing on GMA News TV, May 10, Saturday at 10:15PM

 

GMA News TV commemorates the day the late Nelson Mandela made history 20 years ago by becoming South Africa’s first black President, with the airing of “One Man”.

 

On May 10, 1994, Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as the first black President of South Africa, a country fractured by apartheid or racial segregation. 20 years after, GMA News TV airs a tribute to the man who stood as a beacon of hope and a symbol of healing not only to his nation, but to the entire world.   

 

Nelson Mandela was a shining example of what one man can do to change the world. Born into an oppressive regime, he fought to overcome prejudice and hate to unify a nation.  He was imprisoned for decades because of his beliefs.  Mandela's dedication resulted in his inauguration as the first black President of South Africa, his award of the Nobel Peace Prize and ultimately, his role in overthrowing the apartheid regime.

 

The documentary “One Man” not only traces the personal story and struggle of South Africa’s most famous leader, but also charts the history of racism in the country. Dubbed in Filipino, it airs on May 10, Saturday at 10:15PM, on GMA News TV Channel 11.
