Rated:R Set amidst the sprawling Johannesburg township of Soweto - where survival is the primary objective - "Tsotsi" traces six days in the life of a ruthless young gang leader who ends up caring for a baby accidentally kidnapped during a car-jacking.
"Tsotsi" is a gritty and moving portrait of an angry young man living in a state of extreme urban deprivation. His world pumps with the raw energy of "Kwaito music" - the modern beat of the ghetto that reflects his troubled state of mind.
The film is a psychological thriller in which the protagonist is compelled to confront his own brutal nature and face the consequences of his actions. It puts a human face on both the victims and the perpetrators of violent crime and is ultimately a story of hope and a triumph of love over rage.
"Tsotsi" literally means "thug" or "gangster" in the street language of South Africa's townships and ghettos. "Kwaito" is South Africa's answer to American Hip Hop.

Rated:NONE Director Michael Glawogger's epic-scale documentaries pull together grand, global themes in unexpected ways. His Megacities, which played at the Festival in 1998, deconstructed modern archetypes of Big City life; in his newest film, "Workingman's Death," he similarly deconstructs contemporary conceptions of work - by showcasing six of the most grueling and dangerous professions he could find.
