The South African Story

The South African Story with Archbishop Desmond Tutu is a 10-episode journey across a fascinating land. Hosted and narrated by iconic Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, the series combines key events and places in South Africa’s history – told through original news archive footage – with exquisite landscapes and unique destinations. From the Cradle of Humankind, where the world’s first people lived, to the Big Five on the African Plain; from Table Mountain to God’s Window; from the hopelessness of apartheid to the glorious emergence of Nelson Mandela, peace, reconciliation, and the reward of hosting Africa’s first Soccer World Cup.
