The Tribe - Episode Two

Set in a future where teen gangs control the streets, The Tribe became a global hit at the turn of the millenium. In this second episode, the group have to decide whether they trust Lex enough to let him into the safety of the shopping mall. Lex appears out to prove that he is the resident alpha male, especially after the arrival of Bray (Dwayne Cameron), who has a surprise to spring. For the first season, a group of young people read each script in order to check that The Tribe provided what creator Raymond Thompson called "an accurate interpretation of children's ideas". 

New Zealand is the most important market. It's essential for the cast and crew to see their work on stage ... this is a New Zealand production with New Zealand kids and crew.

– Tribe creator Raymond Thompson, quoted in The Evening Post, 23 August 1999 (TV Week pullout), page 3
