Such a moving film with an incredible performance by Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela. It is hard to imagine the conviction and strength of character and spirit that Mandela had in order to endure imprisonment for so many decades and then forgive his enemies when be became the nation's leader. And his wisdom on how important rugby would be to unify the country (at least begin to) is amazing. This is a compelling story to watch and an important one to remember.
