The end of apartheid narrative in particular - an epic of racist repression that climaxes in a transcendent moment of redemption under an iconic leader - is a movie script made real. And Hollywood has shot that script over and over again. In 2004, Samuel L.

...from behind the goal and finished top-shelf, and with 5:16 left in the second period, the junior received the ball on the left wing and fired a shot past Harrison. “Travis Burr has, through the last couple games, emerged as one of our leaders, especially on the offensive end, and it showed today,” Tillman said. The Crusaders’ only goal of the first half came as time was running out in the opening period. With fewer than 10 seconds remaining in the frame, Holy Cross fired a shot at Crimson goaltender...
