Invictus

“Invictus,” directed by Clint Eastwood, is a biographical sports drama that chronicles the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela, newly elected as President of South Africa, joins forces with the captain of the national rugby team, Francois Pienaar, to unite the country through the sport. Set against the backdrop of the 1995 Rugby World Cup, the film explores themes of reconciliation and national pride as Mandela uses the tournament to bridge the racial and cultural divides in post-apartheid South Africa.
