Plot
Summary
MIRACLE RISING: SOUTH
AFRICA is the epic legacy of South Africa's political
transformation that culminated in the first free and fair
elections in April 1994. Recounted through the personal
accounts of key figures, both local and international, the
documentary examines how South Africa avoided a civil war and
moved towards, as Archbishop Desmond Tutu coined the phrase,
"a rainbow nation." From the evil legacy of apartheid to the
triumphant first democratic elections, Miracle Rising: South
Africa moves beyond mere chronology and delves into the hearts
and minds of the leaders and people of South Africa,
culminating in the thrilling behind-the-scenes events of the
elections that resulted in the joyful inauguration of
President Nelson Mandela. Told through simple, intimate
portraits of key players, it weaves a grand story of a nation
into an intimate history of men and women determined to change
the country for the best of all who live
there.
