I've had a great idea for a movie, Nelson Mandela. Well, that would certainly be an interesting topic. I thought that we could start in his childhood, his life in prison and then his achievements later in life. Sounds good. Mandela was educated at a local mission school. He entered the University College of Fort Hare and quickly became active in student politics. Is that why he was kicked out of university? That's right. I think he was a little too outspoken for his time. So then he moved to Johannesburg and finished his university education. He then entered into the study and subsequently the practice of law. I think law was a good choice of major for him. After that, he formed the ANC (African National Congress) Youth League, to transform the ANC from an elitist political union into a more broadly-based political movement. As the apartheid policy began to reach deeper into South African life, Mandela found himself constantly in opposition to the official political line of the Afrikaner-dominated government. He was banned, then arrested during the late 1950s.
