To commemorate the passing of Nelson Mandela, SBS presents a fresh portrait of the anti-apartheid hero, never-before screened in Australia. Directed by award-winning director Clifford Bestall, this film offers a unique glimpse into the life of Nelson Mandela at a point when, in his own words, he ‘retired from retirement’. The filmmakers were given unprecedented access to Mandela from the beginning of his 90th year until his final retreat from public life. The resulting documentary is an intimate portrayal of one of history’s most respected and revered statesmen. Nelson Mandela: The Final Chapter includes never-before seen footage of Mandela’s last ever tour abroad, as well as private meetings and discussions with admirers, celebrities, heads-of-state and ordinary people. It is a privileged insight into his time in retirement, the final chapter in a remarkable life.

Led by British explorer, Adrian Hayes, the three companions brave some of toughest conditions on earth as they navigate the journey by stars, sun, local knowledge and time travelled. The group walk and ride camels through the gruelling 1,600km trail in traditional Arabic clothes and follow a modest diet. From the monsoon- drenched tropical forest of Salah, to Oman and over some of the most dangerous dunes in the world, through the Empty Quarter, where even the most accustomed locals seldom dare to tread. With dramatic adventure, genuine hardship, fascinating science and historical legacy, this audacious re-enactment captures culture, heritage and action all in one unforgettable journey.
