Tuesday, February 3, 7:00pm Join us to discuss the film Tsotsi (2005)! Summary: A South African hoodlum named Tsotsi (Presley Chweneyagae) lives by a code of violence, and he and his gang of thugs prowl the streets of Johannesburg day and night, attacking those who fail to give them what they want. After casually shooting a woman and stealing her car, he discovers her baby in the back seat. Instead of harming the mewling infant, he takes it home and cares for it. The child acts as a catalyst for the hardened thug to regain his humanity. This movie is available to stream for Free with your library card on Kanopy. The Zoom link is included in the registration confirmation email. Or, join us in person in the Conference Room! Reach out to Mary Jo at 978-641-0949 ext. 4113 or mjherlihy@billericalibrary.org with any questions. |
