00:00I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
00:14William Ernest Henley wrote Invictus in 1875 while recovering in a hospital.
00:32He was suffering from tuberculosis of the bone, which resulted in the amputation of one
00:38of his legs below the knee.
00:41Doctors even warned him his other leg might need to be amputated too.
00:50Despite this immense physical pain and emotional struggle, Henley refused to give up.
01:00While confined to a hospital bed, he penned this timeless poem, a bold declaration of strength
01:07and resilience in the face of darkness.
01:13His powerful words have since inspired people across the globe, including Nelson Mandela,
01:20who would recite Invictus to himself and his fellow prisoners during his 27 years of imprisonment
01:27on Robben Island, and it helped him remain mentally unbreakable, eventually rising to become
01:36South Africa's first black president and a global symbol of peace and justice.
01:42Rich, you know, Christ.
