New Netflix Project Inspired by Nelson Mandela

On 31/12/2022, the seven-part documentary series Live to Lead, presented by Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, was released on Netflix. The series was produced as part of their content partnership with the streaming platform and focused on individuals recognized for their leadership in areas related to social justice, equality, and humanitarian work. Live to Lead was inspired by the legacy of Nelson Mandela, whose leadership and advocacy for justice and human rights influenced the thematic direction of the series. Each episode featured interviews with global figures from various fields, including politics, activism, and academia, who discussed their experiences and perspectives on leadership. Participants included individuals such as New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, feminist activist Gloria Steinem, and the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose past recorded interviews were incorporated. The series highlighted themes such as resilience, accountability, and service, drawing on the personal stories and professional journeys of its featured figures. Prince Harry and Meghan appeared primarily as presenters, introducing segments and framing the discussions, rather than as central subjects of the narrative. The release followed their earlier documentary project with Netflix and formed part of their broader media initiatives after stepping back from official royal duties.
