SYNOPSIS: A stirring documentary that portrays albinos’ life in Tanzania and two fighters who seek to escape the social stigma of their condition. Albinos don’t only fear the strong sun, but also society’s superstition that they are rather seen as ghosts than human beings. Still, albinos fight to change society’s view and we follow two very unique characters: Mashaka (40) and Abdul (11). They fight to be seen as human beings as a skilled teacher, an ambitious student, a good father and a good friend.

Reviews
While in nearly all parts of the world albinos are not treated different in the society, in Africa or more closely in Tanzania, they are considered as outcasts of the society. Great documentary film about a problem that almost nobody knew it existed.
An illuminating insight into the life of albinos in a society very different from that of a Westerner. Filled to the brim with strength and hope, but equally as heart wrenching, Shadow Fighters is a beautiful piece of documentary film.
