Tsotsi September 29, 2006

FLICS presents this film Season passes are $40. Admission is $4.

Tsotsi tells the story of a tiny fraction of current township life, contrasting to a pretty normal upper middle class family in South Africa. It's a story about people, love, life, the choices we make, and situations we are sometimes pushed into. Gavin told it like it is (even though he's living in LA, as a talented professional he has no choice), he still remains a boertjie,(local boy), This is our story, 80% of the Art dept live in the townships, and us Umlungus (Whities) depended on our guys to bring across the authenticity of the township life. The direction is superb. The combination of Kwaito and Score was masterfully put together. And for what it's worth, Ian Roberts (white cop) really speaks in vernacular. Thoough sad, it is full of hope as well. Proudly South African.
