'Tough Bond' is about our irrepressible need as humans for family. We follow four kids who find family and a new identity as Survivors, living together on the streets of Kenya, huffing glue to endure the hell of street life. Recorded over three years, 'Tough Bond' illustrates the alarming trajectory of the new generation of Kenya's indigenous tribes that has abandoned its broken villages in search of a new life in the nearby towns and exploding city slums. Calling themselves Survivors, our characters take us deep into the parallel world they've created for themselves on the streets- a brutal playground held together by a code of responsibility to no one but each other, borne from rejection by their community and cold neglect by their government.
