Look it was a solid movie and I would have given it a 4 but there are just some scenes that make me want to jump on the table, grab the projector and throw it at the history maps. That torture scene with Winnie… don’t get me started.

Had to watch this for school... The movie feels like searching Mandela’s Wikipedia page and make it a script.
