The Other Man

SYNOPSIS

The Other Man is a political thriller about Nobel laureate F.W. de Klerk, South Africa’s last apartheid-era president. In less than four years he went from being Mandela’s jailor to his vice president. Together they changed history for the better and may have prevented a civil war, yet little is known about de Klerk. The documentary explores the fascinating political journey and legacy of this controversial figure.
