An unauthorized, unorthodox history of the Jewish people and the Barbie doll...in around 15 minutes.
What can the most successful doll on the planet show us about being Jewish today? Narrated by Peter Coyote, this award-winning film mixes old school narration with a new school style. Weaving together archival footage, animation, Barbie dioramas, and slam poetry, The Tribe takes audiences on an electric ride through the complex history of the Jewish people- from Biblical times to present day- through the story of Barbie. The film sheds light on the questions: What does it mean to be an American Jew today? What does it mean to be a member of any tribe in the 21st Century?
The first documentary to reach #1 on iTunes, The Tribe had its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival, has played in over 100 festivals, has won 17 awards, was ordered to be played on every US Naval ship and is used in educational institutions around the world.
