Tribe Called Love, A

A FILM BY Mohamed Ahmed


Synopsis

Set in a Somali neighbourhood in Toronto, the film follows teenagers Farah and Halima as they fall in love despite warnings to stay apart because they’re from different tribes. When Farah’s family relocates to Vancouver, the relationship ends abruptly — until they reconnect in their twenties in Toronto. But the same cultural barriers that once divided them soon resurface. Will their love be strong enough to rewrite their fate, or are some histories destined to repeat themselves? This modern-day Romeo and Juliet cautionary tale explores whether cultural barriers can truly be overcome.
