Tsotsi, the South African film which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, will be shown at the Rainbow Cinemas June 11, 12 and 14 at 3 and 7 pm.

Set amidst the sprawling Johannesburg township of Soweto, Tsotsi traces six days in the life of a ruthless young gang leader who ends up caring for a baby accidentally kidnapped during a car-jacking.

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.

"Tsotsi" literally means "thug" or "gangster" in the street language of South Africa's townships and ghettos.

Rainbow Cinemas are located downtown in the Rainbow Centre.
