Reconciliation - Mandela's Miracle - Film Festival at Hollywood Park

Once considered a "terrorist", Nelson Mandela saved his country from bloody civil war and dismantled the system of apartheid through the spirit of reconciliation. Witnesses give dramatic testimonials along with potent archival footage. Clint Eastwood, one of the film’s interviewees, sums it up simply: “The world needs leaders like him.”

Born and educated in Paris, France, Michael Henry Wilson was a bicultural writer whose two passions, film and history, were evident in his projects: a feature documentary, “Reconciliation: Mandela’s Miracle (2009), “Clint Eastwood: A Life in Film,” (Arte, 2007), and “A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese,” the celebration of 100 years of American movies written and co-directed with Scorsese (BFI-Channel 4- Miramax). He passed away in 2014 but his many works in cinema and film books live on.
