He was imprisoned 27 years for his heroic fight against apartheid. So what does Nelson Mandela do after he is elected president of South Africa? He rejects revenge, forgives his oppressors and finds hope of national unity in an unlikely place: the rugby field.

One team, one country. The universal language of sports has never spoken so thrillingly as in Eastwood’s Invictus.
