'INVICTUS' activities in my portfolio


INVICTUS, the power of sport

I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE,
I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL.
this is one of many striking sentences Mandela says
Do you know what does it mean?


The story of a rugby match that changed the destiny of a country, a true story that shows the ability of sport to unite a diverse range of people. We are talking about 'Invictus', one of the most eagerly awaited films of recent months, which opens here this Friday (29th January).

The action takes place in South Africa in 1995, only a year after the first multiracial elections in the country's history. The election had been won by the black political leader Nelson Mandela, a symbol of the struggle against apartheid, the racial segregation system imposed by the white minority for many years. The elections marked the end of this abominable system.
