Tribes Script - Draft

This document outlines a script that explores the tribal instincts in humans from ancient times to modern football fandom. It begins by showing a close up of face paint being applied in a tribal design, then uses archive footage to show mankind's evolution.

The script resolves with a shot of a man with half his face painted in tribal design and half in football colors, representing
