Premiering January 26, 2012 on PBS (check local listings).

The anti-apartheid movement used a complex network of covert strategies involving cover identities, disguises, and secret messages to facilitate communication between the exiled ANC Deputy President Oliver Tambo and the imprisoned Nelson Mandela.

Watch "Free At Last" - the final episode of "Have You Heard From Johannesburg"

South Africans tell the story of the most important effort in the anti-apartheid campaign of the 80's: the alliance that brought together freedom fighters in South Africa as never before. The UDF protests climax in a fierce campaign of defiance, and internationally, Nelson Mandela becomes a household name as the campaign to free him ignites a worldwide crusade.

This five-part series from producer/director Connie Field chronicles the history of the global anti-apartheid movement that took on South Africa's entrenched apartheid regime and its international supporters who considered South Africa an ally in the Cold War.
