There are belief systems which hold that owning an albino body part or piece of hair brings wealth and good luck. BAMBA, a documentary about an albino named Bamba, follows him on a journey after albinos in Senegal were victims of attack during a presidential election period. This documentary exposes the large scale of issues albinos face: attacks against women, discrimination in the school system, limited resources and high rates of cancer related deaths. Written by
