The film is based on the book by James Gregory and Bob Graham, which tells the story of a white South African racist who guarded the famous political prisoner Nelson Mandela for 20 years, who ultimately radically changed his life. One of the authors of the book, James Gregory, grew up on a farm in Transkei and spoke the African language Xhosa perfectly since childhood. Having become a prison guard, he used this knowledge to spy on Mandela and other black prisoners, who had no idea that he understood their speech. Biography, drama, historical film. Director: Bille August. Starring: Joseph Fiennes, Dennis Haysbert, Diane Kruger and others.
