VENUE: University Museum, 52 Ryneveld Street, Stellenbosch

Twelve Disciples of Nelson Mandela: A Son's Tribute to Unsung Heroes (2005) is a documentary film about the first wave of South African exiles. These included Thomas Allen Harris' late stepfather, B Pule Leinaeng ('Lee') who, with his eleven comrades, left their home in Bloemfontein in 1960 to heed Nelson Mandela's call to create what would become the global anti-apartheid movement. They told the world about the brutality of the apartheid system and raised support for the fledgling African National Congress and its leader, Nelson Mandela. Drawing upon the memories of the surviving 'disciples' and their families, and fully utilising the talents of the young South African actors who portray their harrowing experiences, Twelve Disciples of Nelson Mandela tells an intimate story of family and home against the backdrop of a global movement for freedom.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with the director, Thomas Allen Harris, filmmaker and professor at Yale University.

Visitors' parking is available at the Museum.

Entrance is free. To attend the event physically and for catering purposes, RSVP to Mr Ricky Brecht at rickyb@sun.ac.za or 021 808 3660.
