Subscribe FreeTsotsi (Chweneyagae), whose mother is dying from an AIDS-related illness, becomes a reluctant gangsta in Sorth Africa in order to support himself, and yet he has nicely fit into a life of crime. And it is during a carjacking attempt that he kills a woman, only to discover her infant son is in the back seat. Not sure what to do, he takes the baby with him, and, over time, the hardness developed from a life on the streets is slowly stripped away as paternal instincts take over. Based on the novel by Athol Fugard. (Jack Kelley)
