Synopsis: Taking place at present times, Tribu tells the story of street life in the slums of Tondo, Manila, a lower class suburb in the northwest portions of the city. The film is told from the viewpoint of a young ten-year old boy named Ebet. We follow Ebet as he witnesses the deadly lives of teen age gang members in Tondo and the events that lead to their explosive confrontation. Ebet watches as three youths being initiated into the Thugz Angels gang. In the opening sequence of the film, the ten-year old boy explains the genesis of the tribes. They exist, he says because the children are poor. They are poor because they or their parents lack jobs. In Tondo, the boy says, you have to be tough or you die. Even a child needs to be tough. But in the hell that is Tondo, he says, even a child can be God.
