For those who like a film with an inspirational storyline, this is it. Directed by Clint Eastwood, it tells the true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team to help unite their country.
"As newly elected President, Mandela believes that the universal language of sport can bring people together in the wake of apartheid. As a result, the nation’s underdog rugby team make an unlikely challenge on the 1995 World Cup Championship."
Morgan Freeman is excellent as Nelson Mandela.
I have no particular allegiance to South Africa but the film stirred unknown patriotism for the country, and admiration for Mandela's wisdom.

Thanks Eva, we're hoping to go and see it soon.
The Beeb played Morgan Freeman reading the poem last weekend and it was incredibly powerful.
