Mandela recently bestowed South Africa's highest honor, the Order of Good Hope, upon Libyan dictator Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. Perhaps in a testament to their ideological ties, both Qaddafi and Mandela have in the past played host to Louis Farrakhan, the unashamedly anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam.

The director discusses religion with his chief star, i.e., how "God was really pissed in the Old Testament." During their discourse, it becomes plain just how much these men share in common.
