If you’re looking for something meaty to watch this Bank Holiday weekend, I would point you in the direction of Endgame – the story of the secret meetings that took place between the ANC’s Thabo Mbeki and Afrikana Professor Willie Esterhuyse that paved the way for dialogue between the apartheid government and the ANC, the demolition of apartheid and the eventual release of Nelson Mandela. It’s got a great cast – Chiwetel Ejiojor, William Hurt, Johnny Lee Miller, Mark Strong and The Wire’s Clark Peters – and is riveting stuff. It’s on Channel 4, Monday 4 May at 9pm and you can have a look at some images from the film by clicking on the one below.
