Synopsis
White Men is a documentary about the commodification of the bodies of people with albinism in Tanzania. In a subject that initially seemed far from the authors' own lives, they found the echo of a personal question: what is the value of a human life? The film searches within these lives, places and experiences for traces of the origins and morphology of racism.
