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

Teams on away games often face a hostil home crowd, but none so blood-chilling as those braved by Albino United, Tanzanian footballers who all have the condition that affects skin pigmentation. In recent years, many albinos have been killed or maimed so that their body parts can be used by witchdoctors in potions and remedies. As World Cup fever sweeps Adrica, Albino United head out from Dar es Salaam to tor dangerous territories around Tanzania. They hope to convince the crowds that attitudes towards albinism must change. "We have decided to show people we are humans," says one player. "We are not here to be sacrificed." Whatever you may have heard about football changing lives, it pales into insignificance next to this.
