When I asked South Africans for a movie recommendation from their country, almost unanimously they mention Tsotsi, which is a story about a boy from the Soweto township (near Johannesburg) that commits violence and crime to get through life. However, an event while he is committing a crime turns him towards a path of redemption. The movie won an Oscar in 2005 for best foreign film and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get a glimpse of South African life in a township.
