The impeccably photographed Kingdom begins with its protagonist Atang (played by Tsotsi's Zenzo Ngkobe), who's walking the streets in Johannesburg, a vibrant scene which seems to have been choreographed to the local hip-hop beats and sounds.More here
In an early sequence in which a convenience store owner tells Atang he looks nothing like his father, except for the "anger in his eyes," we sense that a resentful Atang has been fending for himself in the South African town for some time without parental or familial guidance. After a long-due visit to his estranged father's dwelling, a neighbor tells Atang that his father had been sick and passed. Atang is now in charge of taking his father's body to his native land of Lesotho to be buried.
