10.10.2002 - Tsotsi

After a long hiatus, the Pearl Movie Series is finally back on the air. We hope you'll come back into the cinematic fold of our small town series and enjoy this season's selection of wonderful, challenging and stimulating cinema.

We begin this season with the award-winning film, Tsotsi.

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.

The show starts at 7:00pm - we hope to see you there!
