Episode Information

In the East African country of Tanzania, its population of albinos face a deadly threat: there’s a price on their white and pinkish skins. Up to sixty albinos have been hunted down by unscrupulous witchdoctors that sell their skins, bones, hair and an array of body parts as ingredients in potions that are promised to make them rich. The Tanzanian government has declared the killings a national crisis and has vowed to hunt the killers down and do more to protect albinos, but the killings have continued unabated.
