Discovery Channel will premiere The Making Of Mandela, a documentary celebrating the life of South African leader Nelson Mandela, on Sunday — coinciding with its premiere on Discovery Channel South Africa and two days after its premiere on Discovery Channel UK tonight. The Making Of Mandela, which will also roll out across 224 territories beginning tomorrow, is produced for Discovery Channel by Dni and Darlow Smithson Productions, with Sarah T. Davies serving as executive producer for Dni, and Iain Riddick for Darlow Smithson. But the cable network said the film would premiere without credits “as a mark of respect for Mandela.” Mandela died yesterday at age 95. The film premieres Sunday at 12 Pm Et/Pt. Related: Nelson Mandela’s Death: Hollywood Reacts Narrated by actor David Harewood (Homeland), the film looks at Mandela from his early days as a resistance fighter though his tenure as South Africa’s first freely elected president, and beyond.
