Comedian Eddie Izzard travels to South Africa to run 27 marathons in 27 days in honor of his great hero, Nelson Mandela, and to raise a great sum of cash for charity. The journey begins in Mandela's home town in Eastern Cape andcontinues through Cape Town, National Parks (beware the lions), Robben Island prison and the Union building where Mandela was sworn in as president. As Eddie runs, walks and staggers towards the finish line, the words of Nelson Mandela spur him on: "Do not judge me by my successes; judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again."
