Nelson Mandela gradually earns the respect of the prison guards who once watched him, but outside the prison walls, the harassment of his wife Winnie only intensifies. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and U.S. President Ronald Reagan refuse to impose sanctions on apartheid South Africa, despite growing international pressure. In response, the powerful protest anthem "Free Nelson Mandela" spreads across the globe, uniting millions in a defiant call for justice.
