Product Description:

Filmed in London's magnificent Trafalgar Square, where pigeons often saunter around the towering monument to Lord Nelson, SOUTH AFRICAN FREEDOM DAY was a melding of some of the world's most progressive political minds and most talented musical performers. Hosted by South African leader Nelson Mandela and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the concert was a celebration of the once divided and turbulent nation's 7th annual free elections. Performers include R.E.M., the Corrs, the Spice Girl's Mel B, the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, and many more.
