Mandela Script Second Draft Revised (2)
Untitled Mandela Script (aka "The Human Factor") by ANTHONY PECKHAM (Based on material by JOHN CARLIN) Revelations Entertainment Second Draft Mace Neufeld Productions 5/22/07 "Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, the power to unite people that little else has ... It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers." Nelson Mandela Untitled Mandela Script EXT. ALL-WHITE HIGH SCHOOL, WESTERN CAPE - DAY A big, rich, powerhouse all-white high school located near the freeway into Cape Town. The RUGBY FIELDS are immaculate. FIFTEEN YEAR OLD BOYS in striped rugby jerseys train with total intensity under the critical eye of the COACH. Right ACROSS THE BOUNDARY FENCE from the rugby fields is an area of WASTE LAND leading up to the freeway. There, BLACK AND “COLORED” (MIXED-RACE) BOYS of the same age play a loose game of soccer with a tennis ball. Most of them have bare feet and threadbare, dirty clothes, most of them are noticeably smaller and skinnier than the white boys. Two cultures, separated by more than the high boundary fence. SUPER TITLE: SOUTH AFRICA, FEBRUARY 11, 1990 A COMMOTION ON THE FREEWAY intrudes on the soccer game. Horns honking, cars pull over onto the shoulder, people jump out. EXT. FREEWAY - DAY Lead by police motorbikes, then patrol cars, a white Mercedes approaches, heading towards Cape Town. Whoever is in the Mercedes has stopped traffic. EXT. ALL-WHITE HIGH SCHOOL, WESTERN CAPE - DAY The soccer players abandon their game and run for the freeway, whistling and shouting. -

Saint Or Comrade: Representations of Nelson Mandela in Film
‘Magic Negro’, Saint or Comrade: Representations of Nelson Mandela in Film Roger Bromley “In the late 1980s, Nelson Mandela stood alone against the apartheid state.” This comment taken from the DVD Box set cover of Nelson Mandela: From Freedom to History summarises the approach taken by many of the cinematic and televisual representations of Mandela. Linked with this is a statement by the CEO of Marriott which speaks of Mandela as “an individual who changed the arc of history through his or her singular contribution, not as a function of the era or the movement but because of what they did alone.” Together, these descriptions attempt to appropriate Mandela for a sanitised version of western individualism which sees him variously as a liberal icon, saintly hero, or the celebrity one-off “magic negro”, in Okwongo’s damning phrase taken from his magisterial valedictory piece “Mandela will never, ever be your minstrel” (Okwongo 2013). In the process, Mandela’s role in the anti-apartheid struggle is de-contextualised, mystified, and effectively depoliticised, a cardboard cut- out severed from his era and the ‘movement’, displaced from the militancy of his early revolutionary commitment and long-term embeddedness in a complex political community, which existed both in South Africa itself and in exile overseas. It is well known that there were elements of choreography, scripting and performance in the public persona of Mandela, the product of a deliberately crafted strategy developed by the ANC leadership abroad in conjunction with the man himself. How far this is Saggi/Ensayos/Essais/Essays 40 N. 12 – 11/2014 reflected in the various filmic versions of his life will be one of the issues addressed. -

The day before, the team was gathered at Silvermine, an old militarybase inside a mountainous nature preserve on the Cape Peninsula,where they had established a temporary training camp. On the easternhalf of the peninsula's narrow waist, Silvermine was one of the mostbeautiful spots in South Africa. Looking north, you saw the totemicmonolith of Table Mountain. Looking south, you saw the rockyextremity where the Indian and Atlantic oceans met.
