Recentemente eleito presidente, Nelson Mandela tinha consciência que a África do Sul continuava sendo um país racista e economicamente dividido em decorrência do apartheid. A proximidade da Copa do Mundo de Rúgbi, pela primeira vez realizada no país, fez com que Mandela resolvesse usar o esporte para unir a população. Para tanto, chama para uma reunião Francois Pienaar, capitão da equipe sul-africana, e o incentiva para que a seleção nacional seja campeã.
Singer Paul Simon and several African musicians perform a concert to benefit victims of apartheid in South Africa.
Essa é a emocionante história de Nelson Mandela, o líder negro sul-africano que durante mais de 20 anos ficou preso pelo regime racista do apartheid. Contada através das memórias de James Gregory, que durante todo o tempo foi o guarda responsável por censurar e informar as autoridades o que se passava ao redor daquele que mais tarde se transformaria no presidente da nação africana. Essa convivência mudaria para sempre a vida e o modo de pensar de Gregory. Aos poucos o ódio se transforma em respeito, abrindo as portas para uma grande amizade.
A África do Sul em tempos de regime do apartheid é invadida por diversas manifestações públicas que levam a uma onda de violência. Fica claro que uma guerra civil está prestes a irromper entre uma minoria branca governante do sistema e uma maioria negra. No meio disso, há o interesse de inúmeras companhias estrangeiras, especialmente da inglesa Consolidated Gold. O presidente da empresa decide enviar em segredo seu relações públicas para espionar as conversas entre os rebeldes e os representantes brancos. Esse RP é Michael Young (Johny Lee Miller) que além de colocar sua integridade física e moral em risco, também envolve a todos numa trama de intrigas e mentiras.

Since its adoption in June 1955 by the Congress movement, the Freedom Charter has been the key political document that acted as a beacon and source of inspiration in the liberation struggle against Apartheid. It was reputedly the main source that informed democratic South Africa’s liberal constitution and a constant reference point for the ruling African National Congress (ANC) and rival political parties that it spawned since 1994, all claiming the Freedom Charter’s legacy.
