Written by:
Stephen Smith
Synopsis:
In the mid ’80s, caught in endless guerilla wars, South Africa, Angola and Mozambique formed a toxic triangle, an equation whose only constant was the ever increasing number of human victims. Ruthless businessman or spy, friend of the South African people or pacifist visionary, Jean-Yves Ollivier cannot be denied his role in having restored peace in the South of the Black Continent, and having helped give back to the world one of its most illustrious leaders, Nelson Mandela. Best Documentary at Regards sur le Cinéma du Monde festival in Rouen, France.
