Trilogy Films<\/a>, the renowned production company led by award-winning Director Dawn Porter, is thrilled to announce an unprecedented collaboration with the\u00a0Schultz Family Foundation<\/a>\u00a0to produce a feature-length documentary about one of the most iconic, politically-charged partnerships in history: the remarkable, largely untold story of Nelson and Winnie Mandela.<\/p>\n

Based on the book by noted South African writer and scholar Jonny Steinberg,\u00a0Winnie and Nelson: Portrait of a Marriage<\/a>,\u00a0<\/i>the film will explore the Mandelas\u2019 profound bond and how their marriage was inextricably entangled with the struggle against apartheid. The film promises an intimate portrayal of Nelson and Winnie\u2019s marriage, delving into their vehement and volatile connection from their early years to their mutual goal of dismantling apartheid. Their journey culminates in Nelson Mandela\u2019s historic election as South Africa\u2019s first democratically elected President. This cinematic exploration captures the essence of their indomitable spirits and the global impact of their love and advocacy.<\/p>\n

Dawn Porter, celebrated for her exceptional storytelling that explores the overlooked, reveals the consequences of policy and social action, champions the marginalized, and offers a fresh perspective on the familiar, is at the helm of the production. With her profound ability to craft narratives that deeply resonate with and inform audiences, Porter is poised to bring a unique lens to the enduring love story of Nelson and Winnie Mandela.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreating a film about Nelson Mandela\u2019s life is an extraordinary privilege, and I am genuinely thrilled about the collaboration with the Schultz Family Foundation and Trilogy Films,\u201d said Dawn Porter. \u201cNelson Mandela\u2019s journey exemplifies the resilience and capacity for change within the human spirit. We aspire to share this incredible odyssey with audiences around the globe. But his story is incomplete without exploring the relationship with his most influential and intimate advisor \u2013 his wife Winnie. There can be no definitive Mandela story without understanding the complicated dynamics of their relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

The collaboration with Trilogy Films marks the Schultz Family Foundation\u2019s first venture into transformative storytelling projects \u2013 across scripted and documentary films and series, podcasts, and books \u2013 linked to its mission of creating greater opportunity, accessible to all. The Schultz Family Foundation\u2019s involvement transcends financial support; it embodies a philanthropic vision and commitment to tell truthful, aspirational stories that have the power to reveal hidden narratives, spark hope, spotlight solutions, and restore confidence during a time of enormous pessimism, dissension, misinformation, and a fracturing of trust in traditional institutions, leadership, and each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt its heart,\u00a0Winnie and Nelson<\/i>\u00a0is a complicated story of leadership, conflict, love, and extraordinary sacrifice in the face of unfathomable brutality where the future of a democracy was at stake,\u201d said Howard Schultz, co-founder of the Schultz Family Foundation and chairman emeritus of Starbucks Corporation. \u201cMy wife Sheri and I feel privileged and humbled by the opportunity to partner with such a respected and talented director as Dawn to bring this film to life. We believe in the power of human-centered, aspirational storytelling to nurture our common bonds, foster our shared humanity, and inspire the next generation of leaders, and we look forward to pursuing other projects across many different formats aligned with our family\u2019s philanthropic work and mission.\u201d<\/p>\n
