The singer turned Oscar-winning actress' return to the big screen will be the portrayal of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela opposite Oscar-nominee Terrence Howard as Nelson Mandela in the highly-anticipated biopic Winnie, making its debut at various film festivals in early 2011.

This is a powerful part of history that should be told.”
