Inspired by Nelson Mandela, I Know This to Be True was conceived to record and share what really matters for the most inspiring leaders of our time.

I Know This to Be True is a Nelson Mandela Foundation project anchored by original interviews with extraordinary leaders – leaders who are helping and inspiring others through their ideas, values and work.

Royalties generated from the project support language translation and free access to material from the series in collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Foundation and Google Arts and Culture, including over 50 countries with developing economies or economies in transition as defined by United Nations annual classifications.

I Know This to Be True is the basis for the Netflix documentary series Live to Lead created and directed by Geoff Blackwell.
