Mandela: The Living Legend is a 2003 BBC documentary on the life of activist Nelson Mandela. [1] It is a two-part documentary created by Dominic Allan with a one-person crew. [2] Writing for The Guardian , Kathryn Flett described the documentary as "reverent and occasionally revealing" but concluded that it "wasn't the most penetrating and wildly insightful documentary ever made". [3] In a review of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom in Grantland , Wesley Morris described Mandela: The Living Legend as "chillingly patient" and "perfectly narrated by David Dimbleby". [4]
