I also highly recommend this. I took a South African history class in college in the spring of 1994, so my classmates and I got to follow the run-up to Mandela's election while at the same time studying exactly how and why South Africa had gotten to where they were in the spring of 1994. It was very exciting, and I did a paper that went in-depth to the character, whose name is escaping me at the moment, that Kevin Kline portrays. I'm also excited to see "Invictus," as well.

More good news is that World Cup Buzz blogger Eric Altshule will publish a review of the movie Invictus in the coming days. While the movie has nothing to do with football, it is South Africa-related. Cheers, The Gaffer Thanks Rami.

It is not about football but it is definitely related to South Africa's situation and at least involves a sport (Rugby)! You definitely bring a great point which relates to football's (soccer's) role in dealing with social issues and in a number of cases defining cultural identity (look at Barca and the Catalan pride) Gaffer,
