Invictus

Following the fall of apartheid, Nelson Mandela shattered barriers and achieved national unity through sport in one emotional moment at the 1995 Rugby World Championship.

This documentary offers a rare insight into the final chapter of Nelson Mandela's life. It's not an obituary, but a unique glimpse into Mandela's life at a point when, in his own words, he "retired from retirement." With access to Mandela from the beginning of his 90th year until his final retreat from public life, this documentary offers an intimate portrayal of one of history's most respected and revered statesmen. It includes never-before-seen footage of his last ever tour abroad, as well as private meetings and discussions with admirers, celebrities, heads of state and ordinary people.

He has grown from Xhosa aristocrat, penniless migrant, lawyer, revolutionary, guerilla and prisoner to being a statesman and global icon. Now, aged 85, Nelson Mandela is one of the 20th century's towering leaders. This new documentary paints the portrait of a man unknown to the world beyond his inner circle.
