This is a fascinating documentary on TV a few times this week on PBS and World Channel. It is an episode of "Global Voices," which is a TV series that presents unrelated documentaries. Most interesting are the Ukerewe Island refuge, the Christian orphanages that take in these children, and how the story is told through two particular people over the course of 4 years. Albinism is exceptionally common in Tanzania and probably drives many people to Christianity.

I had never heard of this small albino community.
I learned something new today about Tanzania.
