The film follows the South African rugby team after the Rugby World Cup was announced to be taking place in that country. The other side of the movie follows the newly elected president Nelson Mandala. At first, the concept may sound quite unentertaining but as the story advances the audience becomes more and more hooked to the screen and at the edge of their seats. The actor choice for Mandal (Morgan Freeman) is perfect but the actors for the team do not look athletic; this is easily over sited by the viewers as they are too focused on the story the movie tries to tell. Overall the film is like a two-sided sword as it not only tells the story of how a sport can unite a nation but also tells the problems the nation faced beforehand.
