About

Recorded in New Zealand where Vanessa was in lockdown and Australia (where Ray has been during the lockdown) due to the COVID-19 virus. From her childhood in New Zealand (and with several early roles) movies and acting has been a big part in Vanessa's life and she brought so many wonderful dimensions to the character of Alice in The Tribe.  In real life, Vanessa is not only a fabulous actress and performer on stage and screen but is also a tremendous singer and musician. The Tribe is of course a drama series set against a world that has been impacted by a virus pandemic, leaving the young people, teenagers and children left behind to build a new world, in a world without adults. It is also approximately the 20th year anniversary since The Tribe was first broadcast - and how ironic it is that many themes and elements in the series have parallels with the virus now affecting the real world in 2020. As well as YouTube, episodes of The Tribe (and Cloud 9's other titles) can now be watched on Amazon Prime in over 60 English speaking countries around the world (also some seasons in Germany), Tubi, Pluto.TV and in high quality in many countries on Cloud 9's Vimeo channel https://vimeo.com/cloud9screenent/vod_pages/ with more ways to watch we hope coming soon. Check out The Tribe's Official Podcast which can also be heard as an audio only version on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and other leading podcast providers (don't forget to subscribe, look up 'the tribe official' podcast! :) ). For a list of links and providers visit https://audioboom.com/channels/5012476 So wherever you are - and to all fans of The Tribe, new and old, longtime and recent viewers who may have started watching or discovering - we hope you enjoy this podcast interview and what its participants are up to during this difficult time - as well as as the 'look back' on making The Tribe TV series.
