Invictus
I really enjoyed the book upon which this movie is based, "Playing the Enemy," by John Carlin. It is the story of how Nelson Mandela, leading up to and upon his release from prison, won over proponents of apartheid, won the presidency of South Africa, and hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup to help re-unite the country.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's rugby related but it's a pretty powerful story too.
