A benefit screening of the new Warner Bros. movie, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon.
The film tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team to help unite their country.
Newly elected President Mandela knows that his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa's rugby team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match.
Guests are invited to a reception prior to the screening.
Proceeds benefit the USC School of Social Work.
