Dramatic Turns
Set in 1994, Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) has a tough job ahead of him, trying to lead a divided country in post-apartheid South Africa, in Clint Eastwood's Invictus. When he attends a rugby match, he sees all of the black attendees cheering against the South African team. Amidst trying to work on unemployment and crime, Mandela undertakes the task of uniting the country behind their rugby team, to change the attitudes towards them, their colors, and their players. If he can make the team and their captain (Matt Damon) a symbol for the new South Africa instead of a reminder of the country's tumultuous past, Mandela will have taken the first step to unifying a rift in his country. On DVD and Blu Ray.Ben Foster returns from Iraq as a hero, recovering from injuries, and is given a special duty assignment for the last few months of his enlistment in The Messenger. He's teamed up with Woody Harrelson, who teaches him how to be a part of the Army's Casualty Notification service-- when they receive a call that a soldier has died in Iraq, they drive to the next of kin to deliver the news. The job has an incredible impact on both men, as they deal with grief, duty, hostility, and compassion, and never know what will happen when they knock on a door. With Samantha Morton. On DVD and Blu Ray.
