Jennifer Hudson and Terrence Howard share a romantic moment in the poster for their new movie, Winnie.
The 30-year-old actress and singer stars in the drama, which chronicles the life of Winnie Mandela from her childhood through her marriage and her husband's incarceration.
Winnie Mandela has called the movie an insult after seeking to prevent the movie from being made as she was not consulted by the filmmakers about the content of the film.
Directed by South African filmmaker Darrell James Roodt, the movie tells the story of the future "mother of the nation" as a young woman growing up under impoverished circumstances during apartheid. The movie tracks her rise in the ranks of the African National Congress and her romance with Mandela.
The movie also deals with Winnie's role in the 1988 kidnapping and murder of 14-year-old activist Stompie Moeketsi.
