Coretta Scott King and Betty Shabazz were taking care of things in America, but Winnie Mandela was holding things down in South Africa.

Mandela is the former wife of Nelson Mandela. She is known for her vocal activism and politics. She was a key member of the anti-Apartheid movement. When her husband was in jail, she would often be the medium between him and the rest of the world.

Winnie Mandela is a 2011 film based on the biography Winnie Mandela: A Life by Anne Marie du Preez. It starred Jennifer Hudson as Winnie Mandela and Terrence Howard (sans conk) as Nelson Mandela. It follows Mandela from her rural childhood to her marriage with Nelson to accusations of her committing violent crimes. It is available here.
