White problem
kosmasp23 May 2021
Being an Albino ... movies have used people with that skin condition - mostly shining a bad light on them. But people who have that problem ... have even bigger problems! Even more so if they live in Africa. And it is not just a discrimination issue (that too), but a real health issue.

Something I was not that aware of I have to admit. But what are documentaries for than to shine a light on something like this - no pun intended. Really well made documentary, with personal accounts and stories from those who know best - i.e. Are the ones who have the problems or are the ones who try to help those with the problems. Might not interest you, but then you probably won't watch this anyway - or shouldn't.

Beautiful, a necessary, sad and revolting documentary...

Beautiful, a necessary, sad and revolting documentary, I would never have imagined such a large contingent of people suffering due to a "genetic mutation" as described by the doctor, alteration in the DNA that causes albinism, and most sadly, predatory hunting for these people , sorcerers believe that they are "blessed beings" and use blood, hair, part of their bodies in rituals (?!?!?!) absurd... Abominable and unbelievable what belief and lack of knowledge cause, degrading, apart from lack of protectors and what makes them more prone to skin cancer, strong scenes of surgeries and the little girl taken by cancer and that in no way the doctors could help her, the abandonment of these families...
