Albino Africa

Assaulted and maimed for the colour of their skin

Get short URL

Albinos in Tanzania are frequently beaten and murdered simply because they are not like other people. People fear them. They are outcasts, treated with contempt.Their skin is a different colour. This is not a film about the African-American civil rights movement in the mid-20th century. These twenty six minutes tell the story of those with the misfortune to be born an albino in Africa today.
