this film, which is directed by clint eastwood, is about south africa in the run up to 1995's rugby world cup and features morgan freeman as president mandela. the story, which is more about government and people's conduct than sport, should appeal to a thoughtful audience - who needn't have an interest in rugby. i usually enjoy biopics and would give this a rating of 4 out of 5.
