Believing he can unite his countrymen through the universal language of sport, Mandela joins forces with Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), captain of the rugby team, to rally South Africans behind a bid for the 1995 World Cup Championship.

This is an entertaining and uplifting movie that contains a lot of subtle messages. This is not a movie about race; it is about the human potential. It left me with more hope than I felt in a long time and is well worth the cost of admission.
