The premiere of blockbuster movie Invictus is being hosted by community activist group Imagine Bermuda on Friday.
The film, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon, is the true story of how Nelson Mandela and the captain of South Africa's rugby squad, Francois Pienaar, tried to unite the racially divided country through sport for the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship.
Imagine Bermuda say the challenges faced resonate with Bermuda.
The premiere - at the Liberty Theatre at 7:15pm Friday - is a fundraiser for the work of Imagine Bermuda.
More than 100 patrons will attend, including Governor Sir Richard Gozney, Premier Dr. Ewart Brown and Charles Gosling, Mayor of Hamilton. Special guests include Eugene Woods, a member of the Progressive Group.
Tickets to the premiere are $20 from Liberty Theatre.
