Description
[Machine Translation] When I met you, I knew. The world is full of mistakes. This is the true story of Nelson Mandela, the first person to give permission for a film to be made. This is the first film adaptation of the true story of the friendship that transcended racial barriers between Nelson Mandela, who was imprisoned for 27 years under South Africa's apartheid policy, and the white prison guard who was in charge of him. Directed by two-time Cannes Palme d'Or winner Bille Augusto. Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love) and Dennis Haysbert (24 Twenty Four) play the white prison guard and Mandela, respectively. South Africa under apartheid in 1968. James Gregory, a prison guard, is assigned to Mandela, who is considered one of the worst terrorists in the world. Gregory, who grew up near Mandela's birthplace and understands their language, is asked to monitor and report on secret documents and conversations. Gregory is loyal to his assignment, but as he gets to know Mandela and the sacrifices he makes for freedom, he becomes increasingly fascinated by Mandela and yearns to live in the society of equality that Mandela strives for. However, his position and even the safety of his wife and children are threatened if his feelings become known to those around him. Family, country, work, ideals, conscience... This is the moving true story of the decades-long exchange of souls between a guard and Mandela, who, in the midst of his conflicts, still wished to be a part of a just history.
