A feature doc for National Geographic and Channel Four (UK)

"Shocking and heartening..." -- The Independent

"Impeccably researched, sensitively handled and engaginly peopled...
Albino United is much more than your standard tale of triumph over adversity." -- TimeOut Critic's Choice

"Albino United is a rough and ready film that shows there are glimmers of heart in the darkness." -- Radio Times

"This shocking and moving documentary allows the camera to do the talking. The story is powerful enough..." -- The Mail

Well folks, it's finally here. The mighty trio of Marc Hoeferlin, Juan Reina and myself have just finished Albino United, a raw and gritty story of an albino football team in Tanzania confronting the prejudices and mythic beliefs that have led to many gruesome albino murders in that part of the world. It was an epic and emotional journey for both the characters in the film and us as well.

For those in the UK, you can catch it here on 4OD
