Description

Beginning in a jail cell and ending in a rugby tournament—the actual story of the way essentially the most inspiring charm offensive in history brought South Africa in combination.

After being released from prison and winning South Africa’s first free election, Nelson Mandela presided over a country still deeply divided by fifty years of apartheid. His plan was once ambitious if no longer some distance-fetched: use the national rugby team, the Springboks—long an embodiment of white-supremacist rule—to embody and interact a new South Africa as they prepared to host the 1995 World Cup. The string of wins that followed no longer simplest defied the chances, but capped Mandela’s miraculous effort to bring South Africans in combination again in a hard-won, enduring bond.
