The Tribe is a post-apocalyptic TV series primarily aimed at teenagers. It is set in a hypothetical near-future in which all adults have been wiped out by a deadly virus, leaving the children of the world to fend for themselves. The show's focus is on an unnamed city inhabited by tribes of children and teenagers. It was primarily filmed in and around Wellington, New Zealand.Never watched it, but are there any progressive lessons to be learnt from the kind of society it depicts?

Haha, I used to watch that a lot. But to answer your question, not really.

Ah well. I suppose I always thought Lord of the Flies depiction of a child-led society descending into barbarism had more to do with scarcity of resources than inherent evil.
