    • @samaraisnt
      @samaraisnt 5 років тому +147

      but it's mostly because Albino people are still an oppressed (large) minority. All the people in any form of power, that includes advocates--were not Albino. That means that Albinos are not afforded power. The adult albinos he did talk to lived in extreme poverty. Notice that not one teacher was Albino, it's probably rare.

      i literally am actually crying bc it hurt my heart to see a child who wasn’t just born deformed bc that’s one thing, but instead mutilated for some greedy killers & ridiculous beliefs, yet he draws so well & found how to adapt. that’s so lovely in its own way but entirely upsetting… i am in no way religious or spiritual but it’s like do whatever you want IF IT DOES NOT HARM ANYONE ELSE. speechless but not surprised there’s such cruelty in the world; no matter where. i wish i could like take every single albino out of that country, even move the entire community that surrounds them so they won’t lose those connections… if only. can the billionaires of this fkn world help do more actual meaningful things thanks !!!
      i went into this video not expecting what was to come bc it showed up in suggestions so i clicked outta curiosity & i was fine just observing until the drawing 😭 & just imagining the pain he went through during the mutilation is going to sit w me for a while

Thank you for making this and being kind enough to do so. I really hope persons with albinism in our African communities get better treatment in all aspects of life. And we most definitely need more awareness to demystify the condition.

    It's amazing how widespread this belief in magic is. I taught a student fresh from Malawi, and one day he told me that he loved being the US because he was able to show that he was smart without worrying. I told him that I was glad that he was happy here, but I was confused - why worry? He told me that in his home town if a student was very smart then they either were accused of having used witchcraft to steal their intelligence from other people (i.e. blamed for someone's mental disabilities) or a witch would try to steal their intelligence using magic. He then said, 100% serious, "It's great - Americans don't know how to do the magic."

    As a Tanzanian, I have to say that is one of the horrors about my nation that I truly hope will stop. This guy really did the documentary well, and represented the country in a fair light. And I like how he didn’t just say that this happens in Tanzania only. That’s the stereotype most documentaries with this subject like to portray. In Congo, malawi, and Uganda it happens too. As well as other African countries too. I like how he made the point to point out that reducing demand will reduce the motivation for people to supply albino parts.

Now to see that we can then find divisions amongst ourselves is simply disappointing. It just should not have started in the first place.

How can it be a place for the inheritors of said oppressors to talk so high and mighty about such issues as if they know everything? Even today, Europeans don't even apologize for what they did, (some don't even acknowledge it btw) despite hoarding their palaces and museums with stolen goods?

I was my fathers care giver for 6 years, and did chest compressions on my brother until EMS arrived knowing he was already gone. I’ve often wondered if my brother and dad were able to meet in another dimension, if they truly found peace with their passings. Then today these NDE stories started appearing on my page. Thank you for doing these stories. These have helped me find a bit of peace for the first time since finding my brother. I now believe neither of them are suffering and battling demons, and they are truly free and in the arms of love ❤️

      @@damnskippy7220 African people with albinism are black people!
      Their unusual skin color is only the result of a combination of genes ... both parents must have these genes, otherwise there will be no albino children.
      The possibility that two normal-looking parents will have an albino child (if both have these genes) is 1: 4.
      With such a high rate of people with albinism in the Tanzanian population, it can be assumed that a large number of people carry these genes.
      It is therefore important to accept that these people with albinism are just another (one of many) color variants that black people can have ... and should therefore be treated as normal like everyone else.
      They are not aliens or anything like that !
      They are humans and part of society! .... and they arise from the genetic variations of the respective population.
      In addition, it is important to uncover the machinations of people without scruples, who enrich themselves at the expense of the suffering or death of other people, on the basis of an old superstition.
      And yes, in other African countries it also affects children with dark skin tone, who are simply stolen by so-called witch doctors because it is said that it is lucky to put parts of the body of children in the foundation of a newly built house.
      Because such sick people don't care what skin color someone is, they just want to make money!
      This is definitely also worth a second documentary .... to expose the machinations of this child trafficking .... and thus denounce these witch doctors and the buyers of these human body parts .... and educate people how wrong that is.
      For that, you sometimes have to put your finger directly into the wound ... so that we cry out in horror in our hearts ... the same applies if children were actually fed to crocodiles as you say ...
      Children are most precious to us, in every country, no matter where we live or what skin color we have ...
      It is not for nothing that all children are related to all people in the world, as the saying goes ... normal people think that way ....
      But there are some people who are simply sick in their heads in their greed for money .... and that makes them evil in their hearts ....
      By the way, not only in Africa, you can find such people everywhere .
      To show how abnormally they act destroys their business!

    It’s absolutely shocking and inhumane to the extent of what they did to this child! So heartbreaking to know that these things are occurring in Tanzania. These witch doctors are awful and they should be hunter down! Hats off to the Doctor for the reporting in this documentary of these atrocities. It’s overwhelming to know that there are people in the world with these mentality.

    It was more shocking to see that prisoners who have killed live in better conditions than those pore kids who are forced to live in a prison-like environment to avoid being killed. That's just devastating to see. It should be the other way around.
    Prisoners had even a football field, but them kids did not even have toys.

      Different countries... different politics, and Malawi didn't have as much of the problem except that those killers escaping from Tanzania took their belief with them..

      The interview happened in an administrative building because the government didn't want them to film the cells. Who knows what they're like.

      @Draxagon Humans do the same and worse things to animals, even by consuming animal products you support that. If we stop calling evil people humans, then you have to do the same for almost 100% of all people.
      Humanity is usually evil, so I see nothing wrong with that term.
