Gabriella D’Agosto Report about the movie â€Å"Invictus† The movie â€Å"Invictus† tells a small part of the story of Nelson Mandela, ex-president of South Africa and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for helping his country to fight against the apartheid. In the movie, Mandela (Morgan Freeman) had just left prison and become the president, with the intention of unite the people and make them live without racism and prejudice.

The players had to go to a poor neighborhood to shoot a marketing commercial for the World Cup playing with some kids. That was perfect for the president goals because it would prove that black people did not hate the team anymore, show the country they could be united and support the Springboks together.

Now people were realizing how black and white people must be in the same places and live the same life. Everyone has to be represented and only now black people knew how that was like. Springboks won the World Cup while people from both races watched them playing in the stadium. Everyone was supporting the same team together, as a nation should be and everyone was very happy.
