Overview
In 1997, Winnie and members of the Mandela United Football Club are subpoenaed before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. For over a week, the nation listens to harrowing testimony – accounts of torture, assault, disappearance and death allegedly carried out in her name. Victims speak. Former comrades speak. The country watches. Winnie stands defiant, offering explanation but little remorse. As Desmond Tutu weeps openly before her, Swati and Zaziwe grapple with the weight of the moment: is truth enough without repentance?
