The 11th of December is the day you need to diarise if you’re keen to watch the new Clint Eastwood film. It’s called “Invictus,” which is Latin for ‘unconquered’. The film, based on John Carlin’s book, ‘The Human Factor’ tells the story of former president Nelson Mandela after the fall of apartheid and how the 1995 Rugby World Cup played a pivotal role in uniting South Africa. The film features Hollywood A-listers, Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. Hopefully we’ll get a red carpet event here in SA to celebrate the film’s release…. I’ll be SA’s version Seacrest and do the red carpet coverage Nu Metro 😉 Haha. Can’t wait for the film. Oh and once we get clearance to use the trailer, you’ll see it here exclusively on Times LIVE. Stay tuned!
I read Carlin’s book a few weeks ago – brilliant, emotional stuff. But it was called ‘Playing the Enemy – Nelson Mandela and the game that made a Nation.’ Must-read for any South Africans
