Tsotsi DVD

In a shantytown on the edges of Johannesburg, South Africa, 19-year-old Tsotsi (Presley Chweneyagae) has repressed any memory of his past, including his real name: "Tsotsi" simply means "thug" or "gangster" in the street language of the ghetto. Orphaned at an early age, Tsotsi has lived a life of extreme social and psychological deprivation. One night, after an alcohol-fueled evening at a local bar, he steals a BMW from the affluent suburbs of the city. As he races away in the car, he realizes there’s a three-month-old baby crying in the back. Tsotsi loses control of the vehicle and crashes to a stop on the verge of a deserted road. The car is a write-off.

Tsotsi staggers from the vehicle and walks away, but is drawn back by the screaming baby. Suddenly, he gathers up the infant, shoves it into a large shopping bag and heads for the shantytown on foot, determined to take care of “his baby.” He finds a young widow with a baby to help him and as their relationship tentatively progresses, Tsotsi is compelled to confront his own violent nature and to reveal his past.
