INVICTUS The movie Invictus tells us the story of how Nelson Mandela managed to create a democratic South Africa -no longer led by the Apartheid politics– by bringing two races to live together.

All of his actions made from 1990 to 1995 -the period reflected in the movie- were driven by one clear goal. Indeed

That’s because it is a high percentage
