| Synopsis |
| “White men” are also born in Africa: African albinos. Due to the unusual fairness of their skin, they are considered creatures with supernatural powers and so they are often victims of black magic. In the wake of the myth of superiority of the white man, a legacy of colonialism difficult to uproot, the belief has spread that through the sacrifice of an albino undreamed of wealth can be obtained. In Tanzania, an association for the defence of albinos fights against the ferocity of these practices. |
