Britain's Whitest Family

Waheed Khan directs this intriguing documentary following three young men who suffer from albinism. Extraordinarily, two of them have siblings who are also albinos. In the case of one, the coincidence is explained by the fact that both his parents are albinos, matched as a couple in their native Pakistan at a young age for fear they would remain partnerless. The three adolescents followed by Khan face varying degrees of prejudice. One of them, Joey, the only ethnically white subject of the film, has been the victim of frequent bullying. The visual conspicuousness of these teenagers makes their search for inner identity all the more affecting
