From the director of Hereafter and J. Edgar

"The film tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa's rugby team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match." IMDB

History is amazing. This is what we learn from the movie. It portraits in a very American way the success of Nelson Mandela in being beyond the understanding, a president for the future. Morgan Freeman is once again a terrific man, although he seems to become a virtual president in any occasion. And Matt Damon is good. It is a good movie.
