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 & finds hope of national unity in an unlikely place: the rugby field. Clint Eastwood (the National Board of Review’s 2009 Best Director choice) powerfully directs an uplifting film about a team & a people inspired to greatness. In a performance that won him NBR’s Best Actor Award & an Oscar nomination Morgan Freeman portrays Mandela who asks the national rugby team captain (Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee Matt Damon) & his underdog squad to do the impossible & win the World Cup. One team one country. The universal language of sports has never spoken so thrillingly as in Eastwood’s Invictus. Special
