The Power of Photography to Stop violence Against Children With Albinism in Africa

~UPDATE: Dec 1~ Unfortunately, this project failed to reach its goal. Bummer. :(

Albino children are often abused or sacrificed for medicinal and witchcraft purposes in Africa because people do not understand their condition. Joanna Rudnick and Rick Guidotti are part of a team traveling to Africa to make a film about these children and to encourage others to help rescue them from death and abuse due to ignorance. Only 26 hours to go!
