ABOUT THE FILM

Persecuted by myths and prejudices, people with albinism who live in Tanzania fear for their lives. 

​

On Ukerewe Island, a small and remote island, these people can live relatively safe. 

​

Lina’s baby Nixon had to fear for his life, because of his albinism and his father who was a believer in the myths surrounding people with albinism. But when disaster strikes, baby Nixon has to continue without the protection of his mother…

​

Island of Hope is in the 2024 IDFA Docs for Sale catalogue.
