MK: Mandela’s Secret Army
April 6 @ 5:00 PM PDT

Osvalde Lewat’s eye-opening documentary showcases the forgotten history of Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress’s armed revolutionary wing, the uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK). While internationally known and recast as a pacifist and statesman, Mandela was, as one subject notes, foremost “a freedom fighter, as ready to pick up arms as put down arms . . . [for him] to be portrayed as a pacifist is to appropriate our history and place it in a colonial mentality.”
