According to The Times Live:
The film that began shooting on May 31 in South Africa, follows the life of Winnie Mandela as played by Jennifer, after her husband South African Leader Nelson Mandela played by Terrance, was imprisoned during the Apartheid.
The film also tells of how Madikizela-Mandela has been depicted as the mother and wife who was a steadfast supporter of her activist husband and who was jailed for campaigning for his release and fighting against apartheid.
Her image was subsequently tarnished by association with a bodyguard who murdered a 14-year old alleged informer, and she was later convicted of fraud.
Based on Anna Marie du Preez Bezdrob’s biography Winnie Mandela:A Life, Andre Pieterse, Roodt, and Paul L. Johnson collaborated on the script. Roodt previously worked on 2006’s Yesterday, and also worked on Cry, the Beloved Country and Sarafina!
