Fight against injustice, viewed from the angle of defence

One of the most impressing movies I've seen. Very good acting, realisting shooting. The situation of apartheid seen and experienced via the person of the lawyer defendimg Nelson Mandela and a number of others who were fighting for justice and humanity. In parallel the movie shows the tension between ambition on a society level and the simple desire to love your spouse and children.

The movie shows that dirty games are of all times. What it shows can easily be transcripted to the middle east comflict, the russion agression, the actual situation in Venzuela, and numerous inhumane situations caused by autocratic leaders or perverse laws.
