Tsotsi (R1) in July

Buena Vista Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Tsotsi for 18th July 2006 priced at $29.99 SRP. Tsotsi is the riveting, emotionally-charged film about the struggle of power, rage and redemption in the gritty streets of Johannesburg. Tsotsi (Johannesburg street slang for ‘thug’) is a young, violent gang leader living in the Johannesburg slums. Having grown up impoverished, with a violent father and a desperately sick mother, Tsotsi neither loves nor trusts anyone. After Tsotsi shoots a young woman and steals her car, he realizes he has also accidentally kidnapped the victim’s infant child. The complications from this act begin Tsotsi’s self-discovery and his road to personal redemption.
