In My Genes (2009)

What is it like to be 'white' in a 'black' society?

DramaDocumentary

Agnes may not seem like someone with much to laugh about. For one thing, she has albinism - a lack of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes - and her appearance has provoked prejudice from family, friends and strangers since she was born. But despite all odds, Agnes refuses to lead a life of sorrow. This fascinating and inspiring documentary also shares the stories of seven other people's individual experiences of living their lives with albinism in Kenya, a predominantly black society. While each person's story is unique, they all have one thing in common: they know what it is like to stand out uncomfortably from the crowd.

Directed by: Lupita Nyong'o

Cast: Fatma Abdallah, Grace Karihe, Delphine Karumba, Benedict Kinyua, Pamela Mukami, Alex Munyere, James Mutai, Agnes Muthakye
