Invictus is a FANTASTIC movie about what Nelson Mandela did to bring his divided South Africa together when he became the first black President of South Africa. South Africa is similar to the United States in terms of Race Issues. This week we held a Socratic Seminar discussing the development of Slavery. South Africa is divided and for years Nelson Mandela fought against the racism. He was caught and thrown into Prison.
Mandela's Prison Cell for 30 years.
When Mandela gained his freedom he could run for President. He won by a landslide. Everyone around him said show it to the White Africans - they need to feel what they did for years. Mandela said no way! They are our brothers and we must bring them in! Mandela did it through sports and the world cup!
The movie is WONDERFUL!!! Watch if you CAN!
