About this movie

Based on an inspirational true story, Goodbye Bafana tracks the unlikely but profound relationship between James Gregory (Joseph Fiennes), a racist South African jailer, and his prisoner, Nelson Mandela (Dennis Haysbert). Gregory is ordered to spy on Mandela because he understands Mandela's native language. No one expected that a friendship would grow between these two very different men. Through Mandela's influence, Gregory's world will change forever. Powerful and uplifting, Goodbye Bafana delivers a moving message of hope, courage and humanity.
