The Tribe
Renegade Pictures for Channel 4 (2015)
One World Media: Popular Features Winner, BAFTA Nominated: Best Factual Series, Broadcast Nominated: Best Documentary Series, Grierson Nominated: Best Entertaining Documentary

In a television first an Ethiopian family belonging to the Hamar tribe, led by cantankerous elder Ayke Muko along with his two long suffering wives were filmed day and night with small unobtrusive fixed-rig cameras.

The Tribe presents an authentic portrayal of tribal family life capturing the ups and downs of familial relationships as they manage those everyday dramas we all share: rebellious teenagers, marital difficulties, sick children and school dilemmas. This unique observational series is a dramatic, surprising, sometimes shocking but ultimately joyful exploration of family life. Over four episodes we watch them as they fall in love, fall out and come together and through it all we discover there may be more that unites than divides our two worlds.
