The recent serial murders of albinos in Tanzania and Burundi have brought the relatively unknown issue of albinism in Africa into the spotlight. One need only turn to Lupita Nyong'o's heartfelt documentary to get the full story about people misunderstood, mislabeled, and mistrusted as one of the most hyper-visible, yet effectively invisible, minorities in a predominantly dark-skinned world. Nyong'o follows eight individuals from across a wide range of Kenyan society-young students, elderly craftsmen and -women, doctors, farmers-all albinos. Born “white” (albinos lack skin pigmentation) in a “black” society, facing medical problems and cultural stigma (they are said to be cursed), they share their stories with the viewer, but this is no “woe are we” tale of sadness. As the story of Agnes, the remarkable elderly woman at the heart of the film, makes clear, you only have your own skin to live in, and you can, and will, make it your own.
