Invictus (2009) realizado por Clint Eastwood conta a história real do campeonato do mundo de rugby de 1995 na África do Sul recém saída do Apartheid e de como Nelson Mandela inteligentemente usou o evento para unir o dividido país. O filme tem muitas cenas de rugby que poderiam ser mais crediveis, mas tem também passagens marcantes como esta:
François Pienaar I was thinking how a man could spend thirty years in prison, come out, and forgive the men who did it to him.
Fica o poema:
Invictus
William Earnest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
