Based on the book Playing the Enemy by John Carlin – soon to be reprinted with the name of the film – Invictus takes us back to 1995 and the Rugby World Cup. Who can forget its central moment, when President Nelson Mandela strode onto the field in a Springbok rugby jersey?

Directed by Clint Eastwood, the film takes a deeper look at the circumstances of the times, and the men who made this powerful moment in history possible. Due to be released on the 11th of December 2009, Invictus stars Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon as Nelson Mandela and Francois Pienaar. Watch the newly released trailer:
