Two Tribes (1998)

Synopsis

Bankers and difficult kids. Both have bad reputations. This is the story of some inner-city kids at a special school who link up with a group of bankers who become their mentors.

Curator’s notes

During the course of this documentary we see hard bitten bankers become attached to their charges and we see problem kids from difficult circumstances open up to their mentors. It’s a tribute to the trust that directors, Clark and Glover, built with the kids and bankers alike, that we get to share some very moving and quite intimate scenes.
