Scene 1. 

Mandela remembered a game in Barcelona. At the time, the future seemed very bleak, but he was inspired by a song.

According to Mandela, people need inspiration.

Nelson Mandela told the captain of the team that when things got really bad, he found inspiration in a poem.

Because Mandela had the poem, he had the strength to deal with the situation.

On the day of a big match, the captain played a familiar song so the players would get inspired.

Nelson Mandela wanted the captain to inspire the players, for he wanted to use rugby as a way to unite the country.

The captain understood Mandela because he also knows how important it is to feel inspired in order to accomplish a goal.


Scene 2


The captain of the team decided to visit the prison Mandela went to, for he wanted to understand him better and get inspired.


The whole team visited the prison, but only the captain knew about the poem.
