A mere two weeks after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their new docuseries with Netflix, Live to Lead, a documentary inspired by Nelson Mandela, has hit the streaming platform.
The series' trailer announced the upcoming interview series, executive produced and presented by Harry and Meghan, which shares conversations with people whose ‘actions shape our world’.
The seven-part series features interviews with famous world leaders and activists, including New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and social justice attorney and advocate Bryan Stevenson.
According to Netflix, the show will ‘share messages of courage, compassion, humility, hope and generosity,’ with other interviewees including climate change activist Greta Thunberg, South Africa’s rugby captain and social inequality campaigner Siya Kolisi, and feminist activist Gloria Steinem.
In the show's almost two-minute long trailer, Prince Harry explains, "This was inspired by Nelson Mandela, who once said 'What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It’s about people who have made brave choices'."
Meghan then steps in, "It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead. To fight for change and to become leaders and giving inspiration to the rest of us. To live, to lead."
