As all our attention goes to South Africa today because of the world cup, using Invictus in class might enrich our students understanding and appreciation of this great country. Invictus is based on a true story; One of those stories that sound so impossible that one can find it difficult to believe. Nelson Mandela decided to support a white team to help him unite a country that was on the verge of a civil war. Let's hope that once again sports will help people connect and see the beauty in a rainbow.
