After his election to President of a racially torn South Africa, Nelson Mandela decides to use the universal allure of sport to unite the country.  He enlists the support of Francois Pienaar, the captain of the country’s national Rugby team, to rally both the white and black citizens through an inspired run at the 1995 Rugby World Cup.  While the country still suffers under some of the same issues, for a brief moment they were united behind one team.
