In recent years, there's been an increase in the deaths of albinos in Tanzania At the heart of the problem, are rumors that albinos' body parts can bring wealth and good luck Josephat Torner has been spreading awareness about albinism in Tanzania His efforts have been captured in the documentary "In the Shadow of the Sun"
Carefully maneuvering around a jumble of slippery rocks, Josephat Torner slowly steps inside a cluster of dark caves in northeast Tanzania.
Ahead of him, leading the trail with an air of assurance, walks a local witchdoctor.
Aided by a couple of artificial lights, the two figures venture deeper into the darkness, running their hands along the cavern's limestone walls for guidance. Bats meandering above their heads, the men enter a vast cave chamber dotted with a handful of rocks.
"What I want to know is," Torner breaks the silence," have you ever seen anyone pray for something evil down here?" he asks the witchdoctor. "So they can get hold of someone? Like an albino?"
An albino himself, Torner has been traveling around Tanzania to debunk the widespread misconceptions about the congenital disorder. Albinos have been mutilated and slaughtered in the country in recent years, because of rumors being spread that their body parts can bring wealth and good luck.
To stop the atrocities, Torner thought he needed to confront the group he believed was the source of these rumors: witchdoctors.
