What is Goodbye Bafana about? Toggle content

"Goodbye Bafana" tells the inspiring true story of an unlikely friendship between two men from different worlds. James Gregory (Joseph Fiennes), a racist South African jailer, is assigned to watch over Nelson Mandela (Dennis Haysbert), a black prisoner and leader of the anti-apartheid movement. Over time, as they spend more time together, Gregory's views on race and Mandela's cause begin to shift, leading to a profound transformation in both men's lives. Set against the backdrop of South Africa's tumultuous history, this powerful drama explores themes of prejudice, loyalty, and redemption, and shows how even the most unlikely of friendships can have a profound impact on our lives and the world around us.
