Masire speaks of the challenges of the time, among them having to explain to ordinary Batswana what a political party was, and the economy being born from a budget of a mere P12 million. He also speaks of his peace keeping and mediation tasks across the region.
The 52-minute documentary on the life of a democrat, nationalist, farmer, educationalist and journalist opens with the swearing-in of Masire as the president of Botswana amidst a rejuvenated audience, which fills the air with ululations. The tapestry, as Masire referred to his life story captured by the camera's lenses - through narration and interviews - for which the filmmaker deserves much credit for he managed to get world leaders to weave the tale of Masire's life - traces the history of an enthusiastic Masire who went to schools in his home village of Kanye. After graduating from one of the esteemed institutions of the time, Tiger Kloof, South Africa, in 1950, Masire helped found Seepapitso II Secondary School - the first institution of higher learning in the Bangwaketse capital. He served as the school head for about six years.
