INVICTUS

Invictus - Excellent. Invictus is a movie starring Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela shortly after he became president of South Africa. Matt Damon plays the captain of the South African Rugby team. There is so much here, that I wouldn't know where to begin. See this for the history, for the biography of Mandela, for the positive message of peace and reconciliation that Mandela promoted with every move he made.
The word invictus means unconquered or undefeated. It is also a poem of inspiration, quoted by Mandela/Freeman in the movie:

| Invictus

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. William Ernest Henley
