Event Description Join the students of Lehman College for a screening of an award-winning documentary film: Dear Mandela. When the South African government begins evicting shack dwellers from their homes, three friends living in Durban’s shanties refuse to be moved. Dear Mandela follows their journey to South Africa’s highest court as they invoke Nelson Mandela’s example and become leaders in a social movement led by shack dwellers. They discover that the new ‘Slums Act’ violates the rights enshrined in the country’s constitution. By turns inspiring and devastating DEAR MANDELA offers a fresh perspective on the youth’s role in a South Africa coming of age.
* Filmmaker Dara Kell will be available for Q&A after the screening *
Co-hosted by: Department of Political Science with Herbert H. Lehman Center for Student Leadership Development.
