BBC ALBA - Albino United

Following Tanzania's all-albino football team during their first season.

Documentary following Tanzania's all-albino football team during their first season. A' leantainn Albino Aonaichte sa cheud seusan aca anns an Lìog Tanzanianach.

A h-uile bliadhna tha còrr is ceathrad albino a mhurt ann an Tanzania, feadhainn a bha nan naoidheanan. Chaidh mòran eile a ghoirteachadh le machetethan, le casan is gàirdeanan air an gearradh dheth. Tha buidsich is draoidhean gan cleachdadh ann an stuthan-leighis. Thathas dhen bheachd gun toir iad seo beartas agus soirbheachadh dha daoine nan gnìomhachasan. Tha uiread
de bhochdainn ann an Tanzania air toirt air daoine a dhol a shireadh fuasgladh sam bith. Tha iasgairean gu tric a' creid gun tèid breith air barrachd iasg ma tha bileagan fuilt albino san lìon agad. Agus tha mèinneirean òr is dhaoimeanan, a tha gu tric ann an cunnart san obair chunnartach seo, a' creid gun tèid barrachd òir a lorg ma tha pùdar de chnàimhean brùthaichte albino agad.
Tha am film iongantach seo, a riochdaich neach-fhilmean Nick Broomfield - a tha air iomadach duais fhaighfhaighinn airson a chuid obrach - a' leantainn Albino Aonaichte sa cheud seusan aca anns an Lìog Tanzanianach. Choinnich sinn diofar charactaran agus lean sinn beatha làitheil albinothaich ann an Tanzania, a' foillseachadh an t-suidheachaidh a th' aig albinothan sa phàirt seo
dhen t-saoghal. Tro a bhith a' leantainn nan cluicheadairean, tha sinn cuideachd a' faighinn dealbh nas fharsaing air a' choimhearsnachd ann an Tanzania. Chì sinn mar a tha mòran de dhaoine ann an dùthaich sa bheil uiread de bhochdainn agus de dh'èiginn air tionndadh gu saobh-chràbhadh gus deagh fhortan a thoirt dhaibh, agus mar a tha albinothan ann an ceart mheadhan seo.

Every year more than 40 albinos are murdered in Tanzania, some as young as six months old. Their body parts are used by witch doctors in potions and remedies which are believed to bring wealth and success in business. This extraordinary film, produced by award-winning film-maker Nick Broomfield, follows Tanzania's all-albino football team, Albino United, in their first season in the Tanzanian league. We meet a range of amazing characters along the way and through the members of the team we follow the daily life of albinos living in Tanzania and reveal the ongoing situation surrounding albinos in this part of the world.
