“What is it like to be 'white' in a 'black' society?”

Agnes may not seem like someone with much to laugh about. For one thing she has albinism - a lack of pigment in the skin hair and eyes - and her appearance has provoked prejudice from family friends and strangers since she was born. But despite all odds Agnes refuses to lead a life of sorrow. This fascinating and inspiring documentary also shares the stories of seven other people's individual experiences of living their lives with albinism in Kenya a predominantly black society. While each person's story is unique they all have one thing in common: they know what it is like to stand out uncomfortably from the crowd.
