Invictus

Nelson Mandela had a difficult destiny. In 1964 he appeared in prison on Robben Island and when was released in 1990, set for himself the difficult object. He decided to cancel the mode of apartheid according to which all tribes which are its part represented the closed societies with the unequal rights and opportunities in the native Republic of South Africa.

In 1994 Mandela could win elections and to become the South African President, but it was faced still by a set of complex challenges. Reconciliation of the different nationalities which were a part of the country became one of them, the most important, and Mandela chose for this purpose a sure bet: I addressed to Sport. From "Springbox", Mandela wants to make a national team on rugby which within long years represented apartheid symbol, an embodiment of the new mode and gives to athletes an important task – to win on the World Cup which will be held to the Republic of South Africa in 1995. Invaluable help in this undertaking to him will be given by Francois Piyenaar – the captain.
Newly elected President Nelson Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa's rugby team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match.
