Niaflix: A Special Screening of A Tribe Called Love

This month we’re screening A Tribe Called Love, a powerful Toronto-made debut directed by Mohamed Ahmed.

Set in a Somali neighbourhood in Toronto, the film follows Farah and Halima, two teenagers whose love story unfolds in defiance of deep-rooted tribal divisions. When life pulls them apart, their relationship ends abruptly. Years later, they reconnect as adults, only to find that the same cultural barriers still remain.

A contemporary reimagining of Romeo and Juliet, A Tribe Called Love explores the tension between love, identity, and inherited histories, asking whether it’s possible to move beyond what we’ve been taught to hold onto.

Following the screening, join us for a talkback with director Mohamed Ahmed and producer Andy Marshall.
