Dickiebliss watched Invictus recently – a film that chronicles Nelson Mandela, in his first term as the South African President, and his attempt to unite the apartheid-torn land by bringing his people together through the universal language of sport. Mandela rallies South Africa’s rugby team as they make history by winning the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Inspired by the film and its triumphant story, the blog this week has a sports films theme to it (groan – lots of references to Escape to Victory then – Content ed). Like all good films we begin with the voiceover trailer….
“In a world where men old enough to know better do battle with the forces of evil (well.. the Students Union), where bodies are forced into football kits that really don’t fit anymore, where everything you thought you knew about the world (of 6-a-side football) is challenged, witness a story you that your eyes won’t believe – the tale of The Kickers greatest ever win!”
