The film, “Nelson Mandela: A True Pan-Africanist”, is being screened on Wednesday 31 October at the Edinburgh Filmhouse. This film documentary focuses on Mandela’s pan-African journeys and influences.
There will be a Q&A following the film with Director, Faith Isiakpere, and Producer, Firdoze Bulbulie. Brian Filling, chair of the NMSMF, has been asked to chair the Q&A.
