"You are risking your political capital, you are risking your future as our leader" said Brenda Mazibuko to nelson mandela. "The day I am afraid to do that is the day I am no longer fit to lead" ansewed mamdela refering to that he can risk everything to unify the country of South Africa. This is important because if mandela hadn't taken that risk, he would not have been able to unify the country, that was separeted for around 30 years. He did this with the rugby wourld cup. Nelson mandela is played by Morgan Freeman and Francois Pineaar ( the captain of the team of south africa) by Matt Damon. This 2 characters will do the imposible to stop rascism

This movie is based on the conflict that happened on south africa during the years 1990-1995. The colour people didin't support the team because the rugby was sport only for white people amd the colour and name only represented a side of the country, the afrikanees. Nelson mandela and francois pineaar change this, so this hard work to put together a country is what motivated clint eastwood to create this amazing movie. It is amazing how with a simple thing, like sports, can unify a country

When mandela get out of prision , he postulated to be the president and he won. The only thing that he want was to put togheter the country so he had the idea of the rugby wourld cup, he talk with the captian of the team. Francois had a big responsability in his hands. He is in charge the whole country

If you want to see a movie that have a real event, the feelings of the crowd of south africa. This movie is the correct one. You can inaginate how a person (mandela) suffer so much in jail, but he never surrended. He had a great idea to use the rugby. Herely he stop the apatheid. This movie is one of the best in the world, effort of clint eastwood is very big , so do not hesitate to see it.
