Totsi
Six days in the violent life of a young Johannesburg gang leader (Chweneyagae).
Won Oscar.
Tsotsi tells the story of a tiny fraction of current township life, contrasting to a pretty normal upper middle class family in SA. It's a story about people, love, life, the choices we make, and situations we are sometimes pushed into. The combination of Kwaito and Score was masterfully put together. Though sad, it is full of hope as well. Proudly South African.
