Why this exact Mandela piece matters

This page is about the actual archive item, not a stock poster image.

Actual item

Mandela is cataloged as a home-video promo connected to HBO Video.

The page uses the uploaded front photograph and detail crops from that same item.

Campaign role

Many pieces in this archive were made for the 1980s home-video and rental-store economy.

Recorded print details:

Black HBO-era Mandela poster with Danny Glover and Alfre Woodard names, the Mandela title panel, and the printed line "The world must listen."

Provenance

Private Discount Video archive, retained from the store for approximately 40 years.

That history does not replace in-hand inspection, but it gives the listing a stronger starting point than anonymous marketplace copy.
