This story takes place during mid 20th Century in South Africa. This was a period of time called apartheid in which a white minority ruled over the black majority in this nation. It was a period of persecution and injustice for the black people of South Africa, similar to what happened in America in the 19th and 20th century.
Below you will find a study guide for the story, and the Invictus video and unit.
The video you are about to see was released in 2009 and follows South Africa shortly after the end of Apartheid. This is a trailer; we will see the full version in school.
