Plot[]
After his 27-year imprisonment and subsequent election as President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) faces the task of unifying a country divided by race. Only months since the end of Apartheid, divisions still exist between the country's whites and blacks, something Mandela notices during an international rugby match. Realising black supporters cheer on the opposing side when their white Springboks take to the field.
