"Tiré d'une histoire vraie, Goodbye Bafana décrit la relation improbable et profonde entre James Gregory, un gardien de prison raciste d'Afrique du Sud et son prisonnier, Nelson Mandela. Parlant sa langue maternelle, Gregory reçoit l'ordre d'espionner Mandela. Malgré leurs divergences, de leur relation naîtra une amitié mutuelle. A travers l'influence de Mandela, le monde de Gregory va changer à jamais. Puissant et enlevé, Goodbye Bafana délivre un émouvant message d'espoir, de courage et d'humanité."
"James Gregory is a racist South African guard whose certainties of life are shaken to the core. During a twenty year span, James spent his time as Nelson Mandela's prison warden. Shows the daily application of a major historic abomination, known as Apartheid, as seen through the eyes of the average White South African. These are 'ordinary' people who are neither heroes nor villains, but obtuse conformists. The violence of the system on its white citizens was considerably more hidden than on its black ones, but it was violence all the same. Whites were obligated to remain as ignorant as possible or be persecuted by the status quo."

""James Gregory, a typical white Afrikaner, regards blacks as sub-human. Having grown up on a farm in Transkei , he learned to speak Xhosa at an early age. This makes him an ideal choice to become the warder in charge of Mandela and his comrades on Robben Island. After all, Gregory speaks their language and can spy on them. 'Goodbye Bafana' tracks the unlikely but profound relationship between these two men. Through their unique friendship, we witness not only Gregory's growing awareness of man's inhumanity to man, but also South Africa's evolution from apartheid to a vibrant democracy."--Container."

"Tirée de faits réels, l'histoire de la relation de Nelson Mandela et de son geôlier, des années 60 jusqu'à la libération du leader politique, en 1990... Classique, un film hollywoodien assez convaincant..."
"Het verhaal van James Gregory, die van 1966 tot 1990 onder meer op Robbeneiland de persoonlijke bewaker van Nelson Mandela was."
"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."@en
