A subway car robbery goes off the rails when three hoodlums argue over which passengers they’re willing to jack.

“Tribes” is a critically acclaimed short film addressing tribalism from the viewpoint of an African American, an Arab American and an White American who are trying to rob a subway car.  The complexity of the situation becomes apparent when the robbers have a hard time deciding who to rob and who to leave alone. It is a fascinating journey of culture, race, identity, and tribalism which is unfortunately very apparent in today’s times. “Tribes” is truly a thought provoking story told brilliantly.
