Explores the transition of the African National Congress (ANC) from a liberation organization into South Africa's ruling party, through the evolution of of the relationship between two of its most prominent figures, Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma. Exiled under Apartheid they were brothers in arms, under Nelson Mandela they loyally labored to build a non-racial state, now they are bitter rivals.
