Synopsis
You'll know them by the bottle parked against their lips. For 3 years, Tough Bond follows four of Kenya’s "Survivors": a new generation of displaced youth- cut off from their traditional villages, huffing glue to endure the hell of street life. It’s a story of 4 kids living in an urban wilderness where family can only be found within their fiercely loyal "Survivor" gang. Together they brave violence, hunger and AIDS without a community or government to protect them. Raw and unflinching, Tough Bond emerges from slum alleyways and villages gripped by decay to deliver an alarming portrait of life in modern Kenya.
