I understand that my story, alongside that of my people is one that will continue to be told for many generations,\u201d read a statement that Mandela issued Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn an attempt to ensure that my truth was reflected, I reached out to the film makers of \u2018Winnie Mandela\u2019 \u2014 my advances were rejected. I imagine the basis was to allow the creative process to occur organically\u2013 a concept I try to understand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI respect all creative efforts to make this story one that would appeal to a global audience as well as yield commercial gains for all those who invested in it,\u201d she added her statement.<\/p>\n<p>She further said that she would like her story to be told truthfully and correctly, denying some media reports that she is against the cast of the movie about her because it\u2019s done by international artists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlike \u2018Long Walk To Freedom\u2019, this film is based on an unauthorised biography whose producers did not deem it fit to consult me or my family. My family and I are therefore not associated with this production,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Starring Academy Award winner US Actor Jennifer Hudson in the title role and Terrence Howard as Nelson Mandela, the film tells the story of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela\u2019s experiences during the turbulent decades of her husband\u2019s imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>It was directed by South African award-winning filmmaker Darrell Roodt. The screenplay was co-written by Roodt and Andre Pieterse. It is based on the book, \u201cWinnie Mandela: A Life\u201d, by Anne Marie du Preez Bezdrob, a former journalist.<\/p>\n<p>The film was shot over 13 weeks on locations in Johannesburg, Cape Town, the Transkei (Winnie\u2019s place of birth), and Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in incarceration, before he became South Africa\u2019s first democratically elected president, said the NFVF.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0winniemandela.co.za<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indusage.com.au\/winnie-mandela-disowns-movie-about-her-life-2\/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=winnie-mandela-disowns-movie-about-her-life-2#\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late South African President Nelson Mandela\u2019s ex-wif\u00a0Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Monday dissociated herself with an upcoming movie about her life, Xinhua reported.
