Exactly... But I still understand them wanting a S.African to play Winnie Mandela. Morgan Freeman is already an American playing the role of Mandela, it is not like they are asking that all the star actors and actresses be S. African. They are just asking that a S.African star play Winnie. I think that out of respect, being that Mandela is a S.African story, they should compromise and allow a S.African to at least play Winnie. It would help in good foreign relations if a compromise was considered.

i can see your point however you have to look at the financial side of it also. Jennifer Hudson is a draw whereas an unknown south african actress will not bring in any money for the americans. I would guess that would go in line with Eastwood and Freeman thinking
