Nelson Mandela’s First Television interview [video]

Posted on 30 July 2010

Share

This video was filmed in 1962. What a fantastic find. I first watched it over at OpenCulture

Mandela always commanded respect with the way he spoke, the authority he spoke with and the determination on his face. It is incredible to think how far things have progressed in the 48 years since the above interview.

On an aside, it is quite startling to me to note how little journalistic filming techniques have developed in the past 48 years.
