A Grandmother's Tribe tells the story of two Kenyan grandmothers who have stepped in after the loss of their own children to raise their young grandchildren. The film is designed to give insight into their world of survival in village and urban life as they prepare for Christmas in Africa. These two women represent thousands of others who, at a late stage of life, are literally starting over again to raise orphaned children. According to the producers, the challenge is enormous as they deal with the grief of their own losses and poor health in order to feed, educate, and care for a growing number of orphaned children. The organisers have designated the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF), a Canadian based organisation which supports community-based African organisations helping women and children living with HIV/AIDS and, in particular, grandmothers, as the beneficiary of all funds raised from sales of the DVD.

Alongside the DVD, the producers launched the Take Action Initiative, which encourages people to organise screenings of the documentary. The producers provide an 8-page booklet with the CD that outlines the Take Action approach, briefly as follows.

1. Obtain a copy of the DVD and host a private fundraiser screening with friends, family, or the local community.
2. Register the "A Grandmother's Tribe" event on the project website and join the combined global voice in support of the grandmothers.
3. Watch the DVD and conduct a discussion with the help of the Take Action Event Guide.
4. Raise funds as a group to support the grandmothers.
5. Send the money to the Stephen Lewis Foundation on behalf of A Grandmother's Tribe for contribution to the "grassroots grandmother projects" in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The production team spent the first 6 to 12 months networking through film festivals to profile the film and search for optimum distribution openings. During this time, they also screened the film at a number of theatres around the world for fundraising purposes. Producers focused on context screenings where the film was presented along with discussion and dialogue. According to producers, this is an emerging trend with major corporate and not-for-profit conferences as it enables the film to be connected in meaningful ways with audiences that may be willing to take action.

According to the organisers, the philosophy of Borderless Productions is "creating positive change one film at a time." To take another step in making that a reality, Borderless Productions established a dedicated entity, Borderless Foundation, to enable a giving back process associated with the films they produce. In particular, Borderless Productions is committed to a series of films that will focus on the role and social impact of grandmothers in cultures around the globe. According to the producers, in sub-Saharan Africa there are now 16 million AIDS-orphaned children. In some regions, up to 60% of orphaned children are being raised by their grandmothers. Very little aid is reaching these women to help them with food, shelter, health care, and education.

The film has received nominations and awards for its impact on changing lives. In August 2007, "A Grandmother's Tribe" was selected for a world première screening at New Zealand’s DOCNZ Documentary Film Festival. At a special event hosted by AMP Financial Services, Qiujing Wong was awarded one of twelve scholarships for helping launch a unique filmmaking endeavour in Africa. The scholarship was to support Wong, her partner, and their team of volunteers on their global campaign to create awareness about the grandmothers of Africa who care for orphaned children.
