New Documentary The Tribe

In a television first, Channel 4 was granted access by a rural Ethiopian tribe to capture their life as never seen before by using fixed-rig cameras in this brand new series.

Part of the 20,000-strong Hamar tribe living in the Omo region of Southern Ethiopia, one family, known to their friends and neighbours as the Ayke Muko’s, have allowed Channel 4 to film their day-to-day life. Cameras placed in and around the family’s huts capture the intricacies of their relationships, their social bonds and attitudes towards parenting and the community. It also charts how they are embracing the encroachment of the modern world while holding onto their traditional way of life.

Filmed for the most part with small unobtrusive cameras, the series presents an intimate and uniquely authentic portrayal of tribal family life. The series follows them as they fall in love, fall out and come together as a family and through it all we discover there may be more that unites than divides our two worlds.

The 4 part series kicks off on Thursday 11th June on Channel 4 at 9pm (GMT)
