Antoine Fuqua always knew Nelson Mandela as an icon. But he had no idea he was such a rebel too, and a literal fighter. He remembered walking into a restaurant and seeing a picture of a man in a boxing stance and asked why they had a poster of Muhammad Ali on the wall. They didn’t, he was told: It was Mandela.
It was just part of what would be an enlightening journey in making the new documentary, “Troublemaker,” which has its world premiere Tuesday at the Sundance Film Festival.
