Invictus

Jay Carter

I could not help smiling through the last chapters of Invictus, such was the feeling of satisfaction I had that a country so torn apart could be put back together in so short a time. All it took was a ton of forgiveness, some luck and talent, the charisma and wisdom of one amazing leader, and the willingness to trust by a whole nation. The victory at the World Cup was won by the team, but the celebration was earned by all South Africans. What an inspirational story.
