SBCANNES "Movies with a Message"

Presents

Clint Eastwood's INVICTUS

 

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

Metro 4 Theater, 618 State Street, Santa Barbara

Presented by Santa Barbara County Action Network (SB CAN) in cooperation with
The Fund for Santa Barbara & The Santa Barbara Independent

 

SB CAN's "Movies With a Message" series continues with a special screening of the newly-released Clint Eastwood film "Invictus," starring Oscar-winners Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as captain of the South African Rugby team.

 

Geoff Green, Executive Director of The Fund for Santa Barbara, will moderate a discussion panel after the movie on issues concerning race, youth, and organized sports, based on topics raised in the film: "Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa’s underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match."
